Issues Frequently Addressed at Legendary Smiles

Many oral problems can be solved with proper diagnosis and treatment. Some of the most common include:

  • Under Bite – Characterized by the extension of the lower jaw and teeth far enough to sit in front of the upper teeth.
  • Spacing – Missing teeth or cosmetic spacing problems.
  • Protrusion – Over extension of the upper teeth, or under extension of the lower teeth, which affects the appearance or function of your teeth.
  • Crowding – Identified by insufficient room for all teeth to erupt properly from the gums.
  • Cross Bite – Upper teeth sitting inside lower teeth, commonly leading to tooth stratification and misaligned jaw growth.
  • Over Bite – Upper teeth extending far enough that the lower teeth make contact with the roof of the mouth.
  • Open Bite – Refers to the upper and lower teeth meeting without an overlap, which may result in unwanted habits such as tongue thrusting.

All of these conditions are treated daily in our office with a variety of treatment options.
