Orthodontics in Southeast Edmonton
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of misaligned teeth and jaws. These misalignments, often referred to as malocclusions, can affect not only your smile’s appearance but also your oral health and overall well-being.
Common Orthodontic Issues
- Overbite: When the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth.
- Underbite: When the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth
- Crossbite: When the upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
- Crowding: When there’s insufficient space in the jaw for all the teeth to erupt properly.
- Spacing: When there are gaps between the teeth.
