Many people are conscious about their appearance when they have malocclusions.
A malocclusion is a misalignment of between the two dental arches as the mouth closes.
Overbites, underbites and overjets are the most common types of malocclusion.
Misaligned teeth can harm confidence, which results in patients tending to hide their smiles as a result.
However, if you are concerned about the overall look of your smile, there are a number of orthodontic as well as cosmetic options to help correct your teeth and to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Speak to one of our dental specialists today to discuss the best solution for you. Your smile is safe with us.

An overjet, sometimes called ‘buck teeth’ is when the upper teeth point outwards and position themselves over the bottom teeth.
Not only does an overjet affect how you look, but can also cause orthodontic problems with chewing, drinking, biting and lead to jaw pain.
Some severe overjets may make it difficult for someone to close their lips completely.
If your upper front teeth are more than 2mm away from your lower teeth, then you have an overjet.
An overbite is similar to an overjet in that the upper teeth protrude in front of the bottom teeth, however with an overjet, the teeth are at an angle.
The teeth are facing downward in an overbite.
With this form of malocclusion, the lower teeth extend outwards and cover the upper teeth.
An underbite is more than just an aesthetic issue but can lead to difficulty chewing, speaking and face or mouth pain.
Cosmetic solutions to malocclusions include:
The most common non-surgical alignment treatment, braces move and straighten your teeth gradually.
Tightening braces can cause minor discomfort, however, they are a successful way of realigning your teeth for a straighter smile.
Benefits of braces include:

Laminate | Composite | Emax | Ultrathin
An overjet can also be treated with veneers.
They are small porcelain attachments that are placed on the surface of your teeth.
Veneers are more expensive than fixed braces, due to the fact they are custom-made to fit the shape and colour of your teeth for a natural-looking finish.
Advantages:

Dental bonding can solve malocclusions by making protruding teeth less obvious.
One of our trained dental professionals will use a composite resin to change the shape and size of your teeth for a more immediate solution than fixed braces.
The resin does not damage your teeth.
It is strong, and tooth-coloured, and is a long-term solution as it lasts several years before it will need to be repaired or replaced.
A crown is custom-made and covers the whole tooth.
It can make protruding teeth appear more aligned and can improve your smile without the long process of wearing and tightening braces.

twp_session | 30 minutes | The “twp_session” cookie is a session cookie that is commonly used by websites that are built using the PHP programming language. This cookie is created when a user visits a website and is used to store information about the user’s session on the server. The twp_session cookie typically contains a unique identifier that is used to associate the user’s session with their requests to the server. This allows the server to maintain information about the user’s activity on the website, such as which pages they have visited. Session cookies like twp_session are temporary and are deleted from the user’s browser when the user closes the browser or logs out of the website. This means that the cookie is only active during the current browsing session, and the next time the user visits the website, a new session cookie will be created. |
