Dental Problems Addressed With Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment may be used to address a range of tooth alignment and bite-related concerns. Common examples include:
- Open bite – when the upper and lower teeth do not meet properly in certain areas.
- Crossbite – when some upper teeth fit inside the lower teeth.
- Deep bite – excessive vertical overlap of the upper teeth over the lower teeth.
- Crowded or crooked teeth – limited space or tooth positioning that affects alignment.
- Tooth spacing – gaps between teeth.
- Flared or rotated teeth – teeth positioned at an angle or rotated from their expected alignment.
- Overbite or underbite – differences in how the upper and lower teeth meet.
Orthodontic treatment can address tooth alignment and bite-related concerns. Improved tooth positioning may also make some areas easier to clean.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are commonly used to address tooth alignment and bite-related concerns. They use brackets and wires to apply controlled pressure and gradually move teeth toward planned positions.
Braces may be recommended for patients with crowding, spacing, bite concerns, or other alignment issues. Treatment duration varies depending on the individual’s dental needs and the extent of tooth movement required. Treatment may take several months or longer.
After active orthodontic treatment, a retainer may be recommended to help maintain tooth positioning. Your dental provider can explain the appropriate retention plan for your treatment.
Invisalign Clear Braces
For patients interested in a removable orthodontic option, Invisalign clear aligners use a series of custom-made transparent aligners to gradually move teeth.
- Depending on the individual case, clear aligners may be used to address certain concerns involving:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Spacing between teeth
- Selected bite irregularities
Because the aligners are removable, they can be removed for eating and regular oral hygiene as directed by your dental provider.

Orthodontic Care for Children and Teens

- Depending on the child’s individual development, orthodontic care may address:
- Tooth eruption and alignment
- Crowding
- Bite-related concerns

For teens, treatment options may include traditional braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners depending on their dental needs and clinical suitability.

Traditional Braces
Dental Braces are an effective long-term solution to straightening your teeth and correcting your bite. Orthodontics focus on aligning and straightening teeth using wires and brackets that apply force to the teeth to move them into a healthy position. The technology has advanced over decades and today treatment is a lot shorter and more comfortable than it was in the past.
Patients who have problems with their bite and the way their top and bottom teeth line up against each other should consider having orthodontic treatment. Treatment does require good oral hygiene habits by the patient and regular visits to the dentist for check-ups and adjustments. Depending on the extent of the alignment required with your teeth, treatment can take from several months to a couple years with reliable results. Slight shifting of the teeth once orthodontic treatment is finished is normal so a retainer is needed to keep the teeth in their new position. Your dentist will recommend the best retainer option for you and the cost is included in your treatment.
The main benefit of having orthodontic treatment is that straighter teeth are healthier teeth. When your bite is properly aligned and your teeth are straightened, there are less gaps and areas for food to get trapped and plaque to build up on the teeth, causing decay. In that sense, braces are an overall wonderful long term investment.
