Do I need orthodontic treatment?

First of all, let's say that only your dentist can decide whether you need orthodontic treatment. Based on diagnostic tools, your full medical and dental history, x-rays, clinical exams and the decision of the orthodontist will determine whether you need treatment and the treatment plan. If you are experiencing one of the following problems, we recommend that you visit your dentist as a candidate for orthodontic treatment: Overbite is when the upper jaw teeth are ahead of the lower jaw teeth. It is also known as "toothy" among the people. Underbite is when the lower jaw teeth are ahead of the upper jaw teeth. Also called the "Bulldog look". If there is a crossbite size mismatch between the upper and lower jaws, the upper jaw genetically tends to be narrow. It is called cross closing. Openbite is when the upper cutters and the lower cutters do not come into contact with each other. It is called an open closure. Incorrect centering is the problem of not centering the upper anterior middle teeth on the lower jaw. Gaps, missing teeth in the mouth, spaces between teeth that occur more than normal. Crowding is the dental compression of too many teeth in a narrow space.
