What is Orthodontics?
improperly positioned. Crooked and ill-fitting teeth are hard to keep clean and are at some risk of being lost because of tooth decay and gum disease. They also cause increased stress on the chewing muscles leading to head, neck, shoulder and back pain as well as TMJ syndrome in certain cases. Crooked teeth may also detract from one's appearance.
lifetime. Who is a candidate for Orthodontic treatment?

Using diagnostic tools like a full medical and dental history, a clinical examination, models of your teeth, and X-rays and photographs, an orthodontist or dentist will decide whether to recommend orthodontics, and will develop a treatment plan just for you. The following symptoms may qualify you as a candidate for orthodontic treatment:
gentle pressure on the teeth and jaws to effect significant movement over time. The severity of the orthodontic problem will determine which orthodontic approach is used. We provide the following appliance choices:

Crowding
Teeth may be aligned poorly because the dental arch is small and/or the teeth are
large. The bone and gums over the roots of extremely crowded teeth may become
thin and recede as a result of severe crowding. Impacted teeth (teeth that should
have come in, but have not), poor biting relationships and undesirable appearance
may all result from crowding.

Overjet or Protruding Upper Teeth
Upper front teeth that protrude beyond normal contact with the lower front teeth are
prone to injury, often indicate a poor bite of the back teeth (molars), and may
indicate an unevenness in jaw growth. Commonly, protruded upper teeth are
associated with a lower jaw that is short in proportion to the upper jaw. Thumb and
finger sucking habits can also cause a protrusion of the upper incisor teeth.

Deep Overbite
A deep overbite or deep bite occurs when the lower incisor (front) teeth bite too
close or into the gum tissue behind the upper teeth. When the lower front teeth bite
into the palate or gum tissue behind the upper front teeth, significant bone damage
and discomfort can occur. A deep bite can also contribute to excessive wear of the
incisor teeth.

Open Bite
An open bite results when the upper and lower incisor teeth do not touch when
biting down. This open space between the upper and lower front teeth causes all
the chewing pressure to be placed on the back teeth. This excessive biting pressure
and rubbing together of the back teeth makes chewing less efficient and may
contribute to significant tooth wear.

Spacing
If teeth are missing or small, or the dental arch is very wide, space between the
teeth can occur. The most common complaint from those with excessive space is
poor appearance.

Crossbite
The most common type of a crossbite is when the upper teeth bite inside the
lower teeth (toward the tongue). Crossbites of both back teeth and front teeth
are commonly corrected early due to biting and chewing difficulties.

Underbite or Lower Jaw Protrusion
About 3 to 5 percent of the population has a lower jaw that is to some degree
longer than the upper jaw. This can cause the lower front teeth to protrude ahead
of the upper front teeth creating a crossbite. Careful monitoring of jaw growth and
tooth development is indicated for these patients.

- Panoramic X-ray (Digital):
- A full view of the upper and lower jaw is taken to view the
teeth, roots, nerves/jaw structures, joints, and locate missing
or misplaced teeth.
- Cephalometric X-rays (Digital):
- A full side view of the face used to determine the growth
direction of the face, to measure the angulations of the teeth,
and to see how the upper and lower jaws relate to the face.
- Impressions:
- Used to construct plaster models. For before and after analysis.
These are also used to make measurements.
- Photos:
- Taken inside the mouth from various angles will also include clinically oriented facial photos for
before and after analysis.
