How do I Know if I Need Orthodontics? Only we can determine whether you can benefit from orthodontics. Based on diagnostic tools that include a full medical and dental health history, a clinical exam, plaster models of your teeth, and special X-rays and photographs, an orthodontist or dentist can decide whether orthodontics are recommended, and develop a treatment plan that’s right for you.
If you have any of the following, you may be a candidate for orthodontic treatment:
Overbite, sometimes called buck teeth where the upper front teeth lie too far forward (stick out) over the lower teeth
Underbiteآ a bulldog appearance where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back
Crossbiteآ when the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when biting together normally
Open biteآ 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
Spacingآ gaps, or spaces, between the teeth as a result of missing teeth or teeth that do not “fill up†the mouth
Crowdingآ when there are too many teeth for the dental ridge to accommodate
