At Norlane Dental Surgery, we provide
reliable orthodontic solutions to irregular
bites and jaw alignments.
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly.
Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles. Teeth that are crooked or not in the right place can also detract from one's appearance.
The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing
appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime.
People of any age can benefit from orthodontics. Crooked or crowded teeth affect the way
your teeth look and function.
Orthodontic treatments not only improve the look of your smile but your health, too. Straight teeth are easier to manage and less likely to get tooth decay or damage.
If you are unhappy with the appearance or function of your teeth, orthodontic treatments may help.
Orthodontics covers the diagnosis, prevention and correction of dental and facial irregularities occurring as a result of:
A bad bite or malocclusion
Missing or extra teeth
Misaligned teeth
Crooked teeth
Crowded teeth
An overbite
An underbite
Misaligned jaw position
A disorder of the jaw joint
Helping keep teeth clean and healthy.
Preventing premature loss of teeth.
Correcting bite problems.
Helping prevent dental trauma.
Saving time and money.
Helping reduce or correct speech problems.
These include:
Invisible braces (Invisalign®)
Cosmetic braces (ceramic or white brackets)
Conventional braces (metal brackets)
The Invisalign® System is a virtually invisible and hygienic approach to straighten your teeth effectively.
Invisalign® treatment uses the unique SMARTForce Technology to create a series of custom-made removable aligners for you.
Just wear these aligners, made of virtually invisible material, over your teeth to move them to the ideal position gradually.
These are the metal brackets and archwires that most people think of when they hear the word “braces.”
But, modern brackets are smaller and less obvious than the notorious “metal-mouth” braces.
Plus, new archwires use your body heat to help move teeth more quickly and less painfully than the older ones.
Ceramic braces are the same size and shape as metal braces, except that they have tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend into teeth.
Some even use tooth-coloured wires to be even less obvious.
When the upper and lower teeth do not meet together properly, this is called a malocclusion or a bad bite.
Missing, crooked, crowded or protruding teeth can advance to a bad bite. Thumbsucking may also affect your bite.
A bad bite can give you a hard time chewing some foods and may cause teeth to wear down. It can also result in muscle tension and pain.
Teeth that stick out chip or break more easily. Crowded and crooked teeth are harder to maintain and may be more likely to get cavities and gum disease.
Fixing a bad bite improves your smile and your health. Different types of bad bites include an overbite, a crossbite, an overjet and an open bite.
Crossbite: A crossbite occurs when one or more of your upper teeth don’t line up with the appropriate lower tooth or teeth.
Underbite: An underbite occurs when the upper teeth fit inside the arch of the lower teeth.
Gaps: Gaps between teeth
Crowded: Crowded or overlapped teeth
Openbite: An open bite occurs when the back teeth are together and there is an opening between the lower and upper front teeth.
Deepbite: A deep bite occurs when the upper front teeth cover the lower front teeth too much.
Overjet: An overjet occurs when the upper front teeth protrude.
