There are multiple options to treat the issues that our patients come with. Here the patient had misaligned teeth with spaces between the teeth as well as few missing teeth on the upper right side. Orthodontic treatment was performed to align the teeth and resolve the issue of spaces between teeth. Thereafter, the missing teeth were replaced with a removable partial denture to improve the patients smile and ability to chew.
The patient had spaces between their teeth and some misaligned teeth which were fixed with orthodontic treatment.
The patient had an overjet where the upper front teeth protrude significantly beyond the lower front teeth which can affect speech as well as the appearance of an individual. With the help of braces, the teeth were gradually repositioned into a more harmonious and balanced position. In some cases, additional procedures like tooth extraction or surgical intervention may be necessary for more complex overjet issues.
Braces or clear aligners are commonly used to address open bites. These orthodontic devices gradually reposition the teeth to improve their alignment and help close the open gap. Orthodontic treatment may also involve using additional appliances, such as rubber bands or headgear, to encourage proper jaw positioning. In severe open bite cases that are primarily caused by skeletal issues or jaw misalignment, orthodontic treatment alone may not be sufficient. Orthognathic surgery, also known as jaw surgery, may be recommended.
In cases of severe crowding or when there is insufficient space in the jaw, teeth erupt in wrong or unexpected areas in the jaw. The extraction of one or more teeth maybe required to provide the necessary space for the remaining teeth to be aligned correctly. Orthodontic treatment reposition teeth into a more aesthetically pleasing and functional arrangement.
