Common Orthodontic Issues
From crowded teeth and spacing to overbites and underbites, orthodontic treatment can improve
the alignment, function, and appearance of your smile.
A Proven Way to Transform Your Smile
Every smile is different. Orthodontic problems can develop as the teeth and jaws grow, or they may become more noticeable over time. Dr. Angela Scheele evaluates both tooth alignment and the way your bite fits together to determine whether orthodontic treatment may be beneficial.
Common concerns we treat include:
- Crowding — Not enough space for teeth to properly align.
- Spacing — Gaps or excessive space between teeth.
- Overbite — Upper teeth overlap the lower teeth more than they should.
- Underbite — Lower teeth extend in front of the upper teeth.
- Open Bite — Upper and lower front teeth don't meet when biting down.
- Crossbite — Certain upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when the mouth is closed.
- Overjet — Upper front teeth protrude too far forward.
- Missing Teeth — Missing permanent teeth can affect spacing, alignment, and the bite.
These are the main issues worth carrying over from their existing page without all the individual case histories.
Personalized Treatment for Every Smile
Depending on the concern, treatment may involve braces, clear aligners, early orthodontic treatment, or other orthodontic appliances. Some children may benefit from treatment while their jaws are still developing, while other concerns can be successfully treated during the teen or adult years.
Dr. Scheele will carefully evaluate your smile and recommend a treatment plan based on your individual needs.
