Common orthodontic problems
Every smile is unique - but they do share some issues in common. Here is a list of the most frequent orthodontic issues we treat at Signature Orthodontics.
Understanding Orthodontic Conditions
Many patients come to Signature Orthodontics with concerns about their smile but aren't sure how to describe what they're experiencing. Beyond aesthetics, these conditions can impact your oral health, causing uneven wear, cleaning difficulties, and even jaw pain. Our specialist team in Birmingham has extensive experience treating all these conditions and more complex cases. Each treatment plan is completely customised to your specific orthodontic needs, ensuring results that are both beautiful and functional.
Crowding
Do your teeth overlap one another? This is a sign that there isn't enough space in your mouth to accommodate all of your teeth. Crowding can make it difficult to brush your teeth properly, and can lead to cavities. Luckily, crowding is easily fixed with orthodontics.
Spacing
Do you have big gaps between your teeth? Orthodontic treatment can help to close them. This will give your smile an even, symmetrical look - and help prevent food from getting stuck between your teeth.
Overbite
Do your top teeth sit far out in front of your bottom teeth when you bite? This is known as an overbite. It can affect the way you chew, and even lead to digestive issues, so it’s a good idea to seek the help of a Specialist Orthodontist.
Underbite
Do your bottom teeth sit in front of your top teeth when you bite? If so, this is known as an underbite. It's one of the most common orthodontic problems we see, and one that we can fix with great results.
Open bite
Do your teeth meet in the middle when you bite together? If not, this is called an open bite. This condition can affect your ability to properly chew food and may cause speech problems like lisping. Open bites can result from thumb-sucking habits or tongue thrust, but they can be effectively corrected with specialist orthodontic treatment.
