Common Problems

There are many different types of conditions, disorders and problems that can cause you to seek orthodontic treatment.

Alliance Orthodontics provides skillful orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages who suffer from such common problems as:

Overbite

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth. In some cases, this can cause the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.

In most cases, overbites can be corrected with orthodontic treatment, such as braces. Overbites are among the more common conditions we see at our offices, particularly in adolescents, and we have many success stories when it comes to correcting them.

If you or your child suffer from an overbite, schedule a consultation appointment at Alliance Orthodontics today to find out how we can help.

Cross-Bite

A cross-bite is a condition that occurs when the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth. Cross-bites may cause tooth stratification and misaligned jaw growth, and can lead to conditions like TMJ, so it’s therefore important that they be corrected.

Fortunately, modern orthodontic treatment can provide great success in the realignment of a cross-bite. Many patients benefit from the use of braces, dental expanders and other types of correctional tools.

If you feel that you or one of your children suffers from a cross-bite, please contact Alliance Orthodontics today to schedule your appointment. Our expert orthodontists can determine what type of treatment, if any, is ideal for you.

Protrusions

The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by protrusions. This type of bite is characterized by the upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough forward.

In some cases, protrusions can be caused by negative habits, such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting and more.

Protrusions can have adverse effects on a smile, but fortunately orthodontic intervention can often help. Braces, expanders and other Orthodontics can work to correct protrusions.

If you or your child suffers from dental protrusions, you can schedule an appointment with Alliance Orthodontics today to discover how we can help correct your bite.

Tooth Crowding

Crowding is a condition which occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum. It is one of the most common reasons that patients seek orthodontic intervention. Crowding can be unavoidable in some patients, caused either by the size of the jaws, the size of the teeth or other factors

Oftentimes, crowding can be corrected by expansion, and many times, tooth removal can be avoided. Some patients require only braces, while others may benefit from a variety of expanders that can create more space in the mouth for the teeth.

If you or one of your children has crowded teeth, please schedule an appointment with Alliance Orthodontics today to find out how we can help.

Fortunately, modern orthodontic treatment can provide great success in the realignment of a cross-bite. Many patients benefit from the use of braces, dental expanders and other types of correctional tools.

Spacing

Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth, or they may only be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue.

Problems with spacing between the teeth can often be corrected by orthodontic appliances. Braces are often used to close spaces, as well as retainers.

If you or one of your family members have spacing problems with your teeth and would like to find out how Alliance Orthodontics can assist, please schedule a consultation appointment with us today.

Jaw Aches

Jaw aches can be caused by a wide variety of things, and some of them can be rectified by orthodontic treatment. Disorders like TMJ and TMD are common causes of jaw aches and pains, and can worsen over time.

Various orthodontic appliances like mouthpieces, splints and more can sometimes help with jaw aches. Our orthodontist can conduct an evaluation and refer you to a TMJ specialist should the need arise.
