Only a dentist or orthodontist can determine whether or not you can use braces.
With the help of diagnostic tools that include a complete medical and dental history, a physical examination, plaster dental models, and proprietary imaging, the orthodontist can decide if you need braces. This is the orthodontist who can suggest a suitable treatment plan for dental problems.
If you suffer from one of the following conditions, you may be a candidate for orthodontics:
Overbite: when the upper teeth overlap vertically over the lower row teeth.
Underbite: The appearance of a bulldog is defined as the lower row teeth are far from the upper teeth and the upper row is far from the knees.
Crossbite: When chewing, the teeth above the transverse dimension do not fit properly with the lower teeth.
Open bite: an opening between two jaws on the front or both sides.
Misplaced midline: When the midline of the upper teeth and the midline of the lower teeth are not in the same direction.
Spacing: or a space between the teeth that may result from tooth loss or even incomplete tooth growth or lack of tooth growth.
Crowding: or the noise of the teeth, when a large number of teeth (more than usual) are placed in the row of teeth, this situation leads to overlapping of the teeth.
