Common Problems
  • Underbite
    An underbite is characterized by the lower jaw extending out, causing the lower front teeth to sit in front of the upper front teeth.
  • Spacing
    Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth, or they may only be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue.
  • Upper Front Teeth Protrusion
    The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by this type of bite. It is characterized by the upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough forward.
  • Crowding
    Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum. Crowding can often be corrected by expansion, and many times, tooth removal can be avoided.
  • Crossbite
    The upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which may cause tooth stratification and misaligned jaw growth.
  • Overbite
    The upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
  • Openbite
    Proper chewing is impacted by this type of bite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not overlap. Openbite may cause a number of unwanted habits, such as tongue thrusting.
  • Unmatched Dental Midlines
    This type of problem is caused when the back bite does not fit and match appropriately, which may negatively impact jaw and proper dental function.

  • Why should I choose an orthodontic specialist?
    Teeth, and sometimes entire facial structures, are permanently changed by orthodontic treatment. It is very important that the treatment be appropriate and properly completed. Orthodontic specialists, like Dr. Foster, have extensive and specialized training that enables them to provide all types of orthodontic patients with professional and state of the art treatments.
  • Can I wear braces even though I have crowns and missing teeth?
    Yes. A tooth with a crown will move just like a tooth with a simple filling. When teeth are missing, orthodontic treatment will aid in the alignment of the remaining teeth so that the space where the teeth are missing can be properly restored.
  • Is it too late to have braces if I am already an adult?
    A surprising percentage of our patients are adults. Health, happiness and self-esteem are vitally important to adults. No patient is “too old” to wear braces!
