 Orthodontics helps to correct teeth that are crooked or misaligned. Teeth that do not fit together are harder to clean and can be more susceptible to periodontal disease or decay. Dr. Ngo has many different orthodontic options to accommodate your specific needs. Invisalign, traditional braces, and retainers are the most common options used to correct orthodontic problems. Below are some key terms for Orthodontic procedures. At Image dental we offer some of the latest and most comfortable orthodontic procedures for adults and children. Overbite - sometimes called "buck teeth" — where the upper front teeth lie too far forward (stick out) over the lower teeth Underbite - a "bulldog" appearance where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back Crossbite - when the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when biting together normally Open bite - space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth when the back teeth bite together Misplaced midline - when the center of your upper front teeth does not line up with the center of your lower front teeth Spacing - gaps, or spaces, between the teeth as a result of missing teeth or teeth that do not "fill up" the mouth Crowding - when there are too many teeth for the dental ridge to accommodate.
