- Overbite or overjet, sometimes called “buck teeth” — where the upper front teeth lie too far forward (stick out) over the lower teeth
- Deep bite – when your upper teeth overlap or cover the lower teeth too much
- Underbite — a “bulldog” appearance where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back
- Crossbite — when the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when biting together normally
- Open bite — space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth when the back teeth bite together
- Misplaced midline — when the centre of your upper front teeth does not line up with the centre of your lower front teeth
- Spacing — gaps, or spaces, between the teeth as a result of missing teeth or teeth that do not “fill up” the mouth
- Crowding — when there are too many teeth for the dental ridge to accommodate.
Book your FREE consultation and one of our experienced orthodontists will advise whether you would benefit from orthodontics.
