Treatable Cases
Cross Bite
A crossbite happens when the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of fitting neatly on the outside. This misalignment can involve just one tooth or several and may occur in the front or back of the mouth. If left untreated, a crossbite can lead to uneven wear on teeth, gum issues.
Crowding
Crowding occurs when there isn’t enough space in the jaw for all the teeth to fit properly, causing them to overlap, twist, or become misaligned. This can make cleaning difficult, increasing the risk of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease. Crowding can also affect the look of your smile.
Over Bite
An overbite happens when the upper front teeth overlap too far over the lower front teeth. While a slight overbite is normal, a deep overbite can cause the lower teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth, leading to tooth wear, gum irritation. It can also affect the appearance of your smile.
Open Bite
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed, leaving a noticeable gap. This misalignment can make biting and chewing difficult and may also affect speech. In some cases, open bites are caused by habits like thumb sucking.
Under Bite
An underbite occurs when the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth when the mouth is closed. This misalignment can affect chewing, overall jaw function, and may also lead to uneven tooth wear or discomfort over time. Clear aligners can help gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment.

Diastema
Diastema is a gap or space between two teeth, most commonly seen between the upper front teeth. While some gaps are purely cosmetic, larger spaces can affect bite, speech, or oral hygiene. Clear aligners can gradually close these gaps by gently shifting teeth into proper alignment, creating a more even, healthy, and confident smile.
Under Bite
An underbite occurs when the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth when the mouth is closed. This misalignment can affect chewing, overall jaw function, and may also lead to uneven tooth wear or discomfort over time. Clear aligners can help gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment.
