Duration: 12-36 months depending on complexity
Age Range: Suitable for children, teens, and adults
Consultation: Comprehensive orthodontic assessment included
Crowded Teeth When there isn’t enough space in the jaw for all teeth to fit properly, causing overlapping, twisting, and difficulty with cleaning.
Spacing Problems Gaps between teeth that can occur naturally or result from missing teeth, affecting both appearance and function.
Rotated Teeth Individual teeth that have turned from their normal position, creating aesthetic concerns and cleaning difficulties.
Overbite When upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively, potentially causing wear patterns and jaw strain.
Underbite Lower teeth protrude beyond upper teeth, affecting chewing function and facial profile appearance.
Crossbite Upper teeth fit inside lower teeth when biting down, which can cause uneven tooth wear and jaw growth problems.
Open Bite Front or back teeth don’t meet when biting down, affecting proper chewing and potentially causing speech difficulties.
Midline Discrepancies When the center line of upper and lower teeth don’t align properly, affecting smile symmetry and facial balance.
Deep Bite Excessive vertical overlap of front teeth that can cause lower teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
