Dental Protrusion

The upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough forward. Often times this type of bite is caused by a thumb or finger habit.

 

Deep Bite

The upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.

 

Crossbite

The upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which may cause  compromised tooth wear and potential TMJ problems.

 

Openbite

Is determined by the front teeth not touching. Open bites can be caused by thumb sucking habits, tongue thrusting as well as airway breathing  problems.

 

Crowding

Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum. Crowding can often be corrected by expansion, and many times tooth removal can be avoided.

 

Spacing

Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth,  a low frenum , small upper teeth , lower lip habit and or finger or thumb habit.

 

Dental midlines not centered

This type of problem is caused when the back bite does not fit and match appropriately, which may negatively impact jaw and proper dental function.
