Orthodontics to Treat a Range of Conditions
Orthodontic care is useful for a broad spectrum of conditions associated with the alignment of your jaw. One of the most common is an overbite. In general, an overbite is when the upper teeth jut out over the lower teeth. This condition can result in a range of additional oral problems that make day to day life more challenging than it needs to be. An overbite can cause your teeth to bite into the gums or might promote further problems with your jaw or joint. Proper orthodontic care can move the front teeth up and bring both the upper and lower teeth into alignment.
