Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with crooked, uneven or misaligned teeth. An orthodontist like Dr. Koch at Koch Orthodontics in Lawrenceville & Loganville, GA helps you improve your oral health with the focus on orthodontics where he corrects issues with the placement and position of teeth and jaws.
Common orthodontic problems we correct are:-
Overbite or “Buck Teeth”
When your upper front teeth stick out past the lower ones, because they are too far forward or lower teeth are too far back.
-
Underbite or “Bulldog Teeth”
When your lower front teeth stick out over the upper ones, because they are too far forward or upper teeth are too far back.
-
Open Bite
When you have a space or gap between your front teeth and/or side of your mouth between your back teeth.
-
Crossbite
When your upper teeth bite inside of your lower teeth, instead of outside. When your upper teeth bite inside of your lower teeth, instead of outside.
-
Misplaced Midline
When the centers of your upper and lower front teeth don’t line up while biting normally.
-
Spacing
When you have gaps or spaces between your teeth, either because teeth don’t “fill up” your mouth or you have missing teeth.
-
Crowding
When your teeth overlap or you have too many teeth for your dental ridge and jaw.
-
Impacted Teeth
When any permanent tooth emerges only partially from your gums or becomes stuck under the gums and does not emerge at all.
