common orthodontic treatments in nashville

Crowding of the Teeth: This treatment addresses the overlapping and misalignment of teeth, often due to limited space in the dental arch.

Open Bite: A condition where the front teeth do not touch when the jaws are closed. The treatment aims to close this gap, ensuring proper bite function.

Deep Overbite: The lower front teeth excessively overlap with the upper front teeth, sometimes biting into the palate. Treatment corrects this overlap to create a balanced bite.

Missing Lateral Incisors: Addresses the congenital absence or loss of lateral incisors, either by moving adjacent teeth or using prosthetics like “Maryland” bridges.

Underbite: Characterized by the lower front teeth protruding beyond the upper front teeth. The treatment aims to realign the jaws and teeth to achieve a balanced bite.

Spacing of Teeth: Treatment focuses on closing noticeable gaps between teeth, leading to a more uniform and aesthetic smile.

Overjet: A condition where the upper front teeth extend significantly forward over the lower front teeth. Treatment aims to realign these teeth and reduce the protrusion.

Non-Braces Treatment: Some dental misalignments can be corrected without braces. For instance, minor crowding can be addressed by adjusting the width of adjacent teeth.

Phase-One: An early intervention treatment for children, addressing potential orthodontic issues before they become more complex. It can include expanders, partial braces, and other appliances to guide jaw and teeth development.
