Common Orthodontic Treatments
Orthodontics in Brooklyn and Manhattan offers various treatments to address different dental issues. Choosing the right treatment based on individual needs ensures the best results.
Crowding of the teeth
Before
After
Crowded teeth occur when there isn’t enough space in the mouth for teeth to grow properly. We treat this condition with braces over a period of 26 months. This treatment results in an improved smile and proper alignment.
Open bite – Front teeth don’t touch
Before
After
An open bite presents as a gap between the upper and lower front teeth when the mouth is closed. Thumb sucking or tongue thrusting often causes this issue. We use braces and a crib appliance to correct the bite in 28 months. This treatment leads to a proper bite and improved function and aesthetics.
Deep overbite – Lower front teeth bite into palate
Before
After
A deep overbite occurs when the lower teeth bite into the upper palate, causing discomfort. Treatment involves braces and sometimes jaw surgery, taking about two years. This approach corrects the bite and provides relief from discomfort.
Missing lateral incisors
Before
After
Missing lateral incisors lead to gaps in the smile. We use braces to move teeth into position, followed by bonded “Maryland” bridges over 20 months. This treatment results in a natural-looking smile with replaced missing teeth.
Underbite – Lower front teeth in front of upper teeth
Before
After
An underbite occurs when the lower front teeth protrude beyond the upper front teeth, often causing jaw discomfort. We treat this with braces over 30 months, starting at age 32. This treatment improves bite and jaw function, making chewing and smiling easier.
Spacing of teeth
Before
After
Noticeable gaps between teeth can affect aesthetics and function. We use braces to close these gaps and create an ideal bite over 24 months. Special retainers help maintain the results, ensuring well-aligned teeth.
Overjet – Protruding front teeth
Before
After
An overjet occurs when upper front teeth stick out significantly over the lower teeth. We treat this in two phases. The first phase helps jaw growth, and the second phase aligns the teeth, completing the treatment by age 13. This results in harmonious jaw growth and aligned teeth.
Non-braces treatment
Before
After
Some corrective procedures do not require traditional braces. For example, reducing the width of baby teeth allows permanent teeth to align naturally. This treatment takes about nine months and results in noticeable improvements in alignment without the need for braces.
Phase-One Treatment
Before
After
Early intervention addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns in young children. We use an expander and partial braces for 12 months to improve dental function. This treatment enhances appearance and dental health.
