Do I need braces?
You may have wondered for a while if an orthodontist could help you achieve a straighter smile, or whether braces are suitable for you. Orthodontic treatment can be used to treat a range of symptoms. Find out more about some common conditions which braces can help fix.
Crooked teeth
Crooked teeth are when your teeth are misaligned. This can develop in childhood and as we age for a variety of reasons. Find out more about the causes and the types of braces your orthodontist may recommend.
Crowded teeth
Crowded teeth is when there’s not enough space in your mouth for all your teeth. This can happen for several reasons including ageing, a small jaw or genetics. Learn more about overcrowding and how it can be corrected with braces.
Overbite
An overbite means your top teeth overlap your lower front teeth too much. Find out how orthodontic treatment might be able to help an overbite.
Underbite
An underbite is when your bottom teeth overlap your front teeth. Discover the solutions offered by Total Orthodontics to help correct an underbite.
Impacted canines
Occasionally, teeth in your mouth can become impacted. This means, instead of growing in your mouth, they stay buried in the jawbone beneath your gum. Learn more about how they can be corrected using a combination of braces and surgery.
Gaps in your teeth
Gaps in your teeth are spaces between two or more teeth. Find out how they can be corrected with orthodontic treatment.
