Common Orthodontic Problems

Orthodontic problems are common and can affect more than just your smile. Known as malocclusions, they may impact chewing, speech, and oral health.

They can be inherited or develop over time due to habits or other factors. Understanding the problem is the first step toward a healthier, more balanced smile.

Types of Orthodontic Problems

Each bite problem is different, which is why a personalized orthodontic evaluation is important before planning treatment.
