- too much space between teeth – “Gap Teeth” – Braces can close the gap between the teeth.
- Crowded teeth – Braces can expand the jaw which allows the teeth to be aligned properly.
- Overlapped teeth – can be caused by thumbsucking as a baby.
- Under-bite
- over-bite aka “Deep-Bite” –
- Cross-bite – bite goes off to one side.
- Open-bite – Front teeth of your uppers and Lowers don’t touch
- Overjet – short lower jaw, sometimes causes by thumb-sucking.
