Who needs braces?

If you have any of the following, it is possible that you are a candidate for orthodontic treatment:

Overbite, sometimes called "buck teeth" — where the upper front teeth lie too far forward (stick out) over the lower teeth

Spacing — gaps, or spaces, between the teeth as a result of missing teeth or teeth that do not "fill up" the mouth

Crossbite — when the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when biting together normally

Misplaced midline— when the center of your upper front teeth does not line up with the center of your lower front teeth

Underbite — a "bulldog" appearance where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back

Crowding — when there are too many teeth for the dental ridge to accommodate

Open bite — space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth when the back teeth bite together
