Are braces for me?

Each person has a unique set of teeth, which is why we offer a variety of treatment options at The Bachmayer Orthodontic Clinic. For patients who struggle with tooth and jaw issues, orthodontic brace treatment can be a real benefit.

At The Bachmayer Orthodontic Clinic, we are qualified and experienced in treating a range of different orthodontic problems. We've outlined some of the most common ones we see below.

Are braces for me?
Crowding
Crowding

Crowding is the term for when there is not enough space in your mouth for all of your teeth. This can cause teeth to overlap and grow crooked. Crowding may affect the way you chew and therefore, digest your food.

Spacing
Spacing

The opposite of crowding, spacing is when there is too much space in your mouth for all of your teeth. This can cause big gaps between teeth, where food may lodge. Another problem that can occur from spacing is infected and inflamed gums.

Overbite
Overbite

Overbite is a term used to describe when the upper jaw is sitting out past the lower jaw when you bite down. As orthodontists, our focus isn't just on teeth, but on aligning your jaws to ensure you have a correct bite as well.

Underbite
Underbite

The opposite of an overbite, an underbite is when the lower jaw sits out past the upper jaw when you bite down. The misalignment of the jaw can cause chewing and biting difficulties, speech issues, and jaw pain, so it is important to treat these issues.

Open bite
Open bite

Another common bite problem is when your upper and lower jaws don't meet when you bite. This can cause a big gap between your teeth and can affect the appearance of your smile. Fortunately, orthodontic appliances can fix these types of bite issues.
