Treatable Cases

Gapped Teeth:

This occurs when the jawbone grows further than expected or when teeth are missing, and the others shift to compensate. Spacing issues can be a potential issue leading to gum and periodontal problems.

Overbite:

Dentists call an overbite an overjet. Usually caused by genetics or overdevelopment of the bone that supports the teeth, an overbite leads to teeth wear and can cause joint and jaw pain.

Underbite:

When the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper, it can prevent normal tooth function. This is usually caused when the upper jaw is undergrown, or the lower jaw is overgrown.

Open Bite:

This occurs when teeth are not able to make physical contact with others due to an abnormal jaw structure (or sometimes thumb sucking). This can cause speech problems or lead to issues such as TMD.

Overcrowded Teeth:

When there is a lack of room for all teeth to fit, overcrowding can occur. This issue may lead to crooked teeth and may make it easier for plaque to accumulate in the space between teeth.

Cross-bite:

Cross-bite occurs when the upper and lower jaws are both misaligned. One or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth causing wear of teeth and the higher potential for gum disease.

What are the advantages of Aligners ?

In what ways are Aligners a better choice than traditional braces? Clearly, appearance is one of the biggest advantages upfront. The typical brace pattern work across the teeth are not present. However, even more, advantageous is the lack of irritation and pain that occurs with braces against the inner lips and mouth surface. Traditional braces are not known for being “ergonomic” to the rest of the mouth. As a result, their edges and wiring often cut the mouth's inner surface, and that’s in addition to the tension on the teeth. The reduction in discomfort with Aligners is a big plus for our patients.

Orthodontics and Ibuprofen Don't Mix

Tooth & gum pain is a common side effect of most orthodontic treatments, and clear aligners are no exception. The discomfort can be particularly intense when a patient first puts on a brand-new aligner.
Over-the-counter pain medications can help, but did you know that some pain relievers can inhibit the successful movement of teeth? In a 1996 study, researchers placed orthodontic appliances on guinea pigs and tested the effects of ibuprofen (Advil), acetaminophen (Tylenol), and misoprostol. They found that ibuprofen significantly inhibited the movement of the teeth. They did not specifically test the effects of aspirin or naproxen, but those belong to the same family of NSAIDs, so it's probably safest to avoid those as well.
Fortunately, acetaminophen did not affect the movement of the teeth compared to the control group.
