Common Problems

What is an overbite and is it serious?

An overbite (deep bite) occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively. While mild overbites are common, a significant overbite can cause uneven tooth wear, jaw pain, and in severe cases, the lower teeth may bite into the roof of the mouth. It is always best treated.

Will a crossbite correct itself over time?

No. A crossbite will not self-correct and, if left untreated, can lead to uneven tooth wear, gum recession, and asymmetrical jaw growth. Early treatment during childhood is often the most effective approach.

Why is crowding a problem beyond just appearance?

Crowded teeth are significantly more difficult to clean properly, which dramatically increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease over time. Orthodontic treatment aligns the teeth, making them far easier to maintain and improving your long-term oral health.
