1. Crowded Teeth Crowding occurs when there isn’t enough space for all your teeth to align properly, causing overlap or rotation. Left untreated, crowding can make oral hygiene difficult, leading to cavities and gum disease. Treatments like braces or Spark Clear Aligners gently reposition teeth for optimal alignment. 2. Spacing Issues Gaps between teeth can result from missing teeth, genetics, or abnormal jaw growth. While gaps may not always cause functional issues, closing them with orthodontic treatment improves both aesthetics and oral health. 3. Overbite An overbite happens when the upper front teeth significantly overlap the lower front teeth. This can lead to wear on the lower teeth, jaw discomfort, and even difficulty chewing. Treatment options include braces or aligners to correct the bite and improve function. 4. Underbite An underbite occurs when the lower teeth extend past the upper teeth, often due to jaw misalignment. This can make chewing or speaking difficult and may require a combination of braces and advanced orthodontic care. 5. Crossbite A crossbite happens when some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, causing uneven wear or jaw issues. Early treatment is often recommended to prevent long-term complications. 6. Open Bite An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly, often due to habits like thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting. Orthodontic solutions like braces or aligners can close the bite and restore function. 7. Protruding Teeth Protruding teeth, often referred to as “buck teeth,” can affect appearance and increase the risk of injury. Orthodontic treatment brings these teeth into alignment for better protection and aesthetics. 8. Jaw Misalignment Jaw alignment issues like overjet, underbite, or crossbite can lead to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain and other complications. Minga Orthodontics offers specialized treatments to realign the jaw and improve overall oral health.
