One of the most common concerns for a smile makeover is a crooked smile. If your teeth suffer from any of the following, an orthodontic straightening solution may be right for you.
OVERCROWDING
This occurs when there is not enough room on your jaw for teeth to fit normally.
WIDE SPACES
Typically the result of genetics, there are several options that can correct spacing and gapping.
CROSSBITE
If the upper and lower jaws are misaligned and don’t match up, you probably have a crossbite.
OVERBITE
Usually caused by genetics, an overbite results in upper teeth that fall over the lower teeth.
UNDERBITE
This tends to occur when the bottom teeth stick out past the top teeth.
Regardless of the reason-genetics, shifting, trauma, etc.-there are many solutions available to give you a straighter smile, which can enhance the shape of your face. Ask your orthodontist or cosmetic dentist if Invisalign or braces may be appropriate for you.
