Overlapping or rotated teeth are harder to keep clean and can lead to cavities and gum disease over time. Orthodontic treatment gradually moves teeth into alignment using braces or clear aligners.
Bite misalignment affects chewing, speech, and jaw health. Orthodontists correct these issues during childhood when possible, but adult treatment is effective at any age.
An uneven bite forces your jaw muscles to compensate, which can lead to chronic jaw pain and TMJ symptoms. Correcting the alignment often resolves the pain at its source.
Gaps between teeth can be cosmetic concerns or signs of underlying gum or bone issues. Orthodontic treatment closes gaps while ensuring the bite stays balanced.
After braces or aligners, retainers keep teeth in their new positions. Regular follow-up ensures your results last and catches any early signs of relapse.
