Orthotics & Braces
At Grandview Physiotherapy, we specialize in providing cutting-edge orthodontic treatments and services to improve the alignment of your teeth. Just as dentistry focuses on the overall health of your teeth, orthodontics specifically addresses their positioning.
Misaligned teeth can contribute to various issues, including cavities, tooth erosion, jaw discomfort, and other complications. Moreover, cleaning improperly positioned teeth is more challenging, and they can exert excessive pressure on each other during biting. Our clinic is dedicated to offering the latest and most effective solutions to ensure your teeth are properly aligned, promoting better oral health and overall well-being.
Issues That Orthodontics Can Address
Orthodontics can address a variety of issues related to the positioning and alignment of teeth. Some of the common issues that orthodontic treatment can help resolve include:
Crooked Teeth:
Orthodontics can straighten teeth that are misaligned, overlapping, or rotated, improving their appearance and functionality.
Overcrowding:
When there is insufficient space in the jaw for all the teeth to fit properly, orthodontic treatments such as braces or aligners can help create space and align the teeth correctly.
Malocclusions:
These are bite problems that occur when the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly. Examples of malocclusions include overbite (upper teeth protrude over the lower teeth), underbite (lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth), and crossbite (teeth are misaligned horizontally).
Open Bite:
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not come into contact when biting down. Orthodontic treatment can correct this issue, improving both function and aesthetics.
Deep Bite:
A deep bite, also known as an overbite, is characterized by the upper front teeth excessively overlapping the lower front teeth. Orthodontic interventions can help realign the bite and improve the balance between the upper and lower teeth.
Spaces or Gaps:
Orthodontics can address gaps between teeth caused by missing teeth or abnormal tooth size. By closing these spaces, orthodontic treatment can enhance the appearance and functionality of the smile.
