Dr. John Nikolovski your Brooklin Orthodontist Discusses Different types of bite problems

Your dental bite - or the way your teeth meet together can affect a number of different things, including speech, breathing or even the way your look.   Dental Malocclusions can also cause your teeth to wear down, chip or crowd over time.

There are a few main types of bite patterns including a crossbite, underbite or overbite.  Dr. John Nikolovski your Whitby Invisalign Orthodontist explains the difference between the three types of bites.

Crossbites

There are a few different crossbites  that are classified in different groups. First a posterior crossbite is a crossbite that occurs when the upper jaw is too narrow for the lower jaw.  The teeth on one or both sides are too narrow to fit with the lower teeth properly and this condition can cause wear of the teeth.
A second type of crossbite is when one or more on the top are stuck in behind of the bottom teeth.  This is called a localized anterior (front) crossbite

Underbites

An underbite occurs when the lower teeth are too far forward from the top teeth and these conditions can be caused by jaw growth anomalies.   Treatment for this type of problem can range from an straight forward 2 year comprehensive orthodontic treatment or a more complex treatment involving corrective jaw surgery.

Overbites (Overjet)

An overbite on the other had occurs when your lower jaw is too small for your upper in the front to back dimension of space.  A more correct dental term for this problem is called overjet.  Fortunately this problem can be treated with braces and functional appliances or surgery if the problem is very severe.

Brooklin Orthodontist Dr. John Nikolovski Talks about Elastics!

July 16th, 2012

Orthodontic elastics are always a very important part of your orthodontic treatment if Brooklin Invisalign dentist Dr. Nikolovski recommends them during your orthodontic care.  As with anything else when wearing braces in Whitby, Ontario it is very important that you follow elastic wear instructions during treatment.

Elastics during your orthodontic treatment in Ajax Ontario can help to align your bite or can help push your teeth around to line up properly. Specific instructions will be given during your orthodontic care on how to place elastics and in what direction Dr. John Nikolovski will want your elastics placed.
Proper elastic wear can make orthodontic treatment in Whitby, Ontario shorter if worn properly and for the right amount of time.
ALways remember the following rules with elastic wear.  First you won’t be able to open your mouth fully, so your elastics can be removed during meal time.  Other times, your Brooklin Orthodontist Dr. John Nikolovski may recommend your elastics to only be worn at night time when a small shifting is needed to correct your bite.  Always be careful with your rubber bands as they can snap if you open your mouth too wide!!
If elastics are not worn when asked, it can prolong treatment time and it may make it more difficult to get a good bite, so always do your best to wear them, to allow you to obtain that beautiful new smile.
