One of the most common orthodontic problems is overcrowding, which occurs when there is simply not enough room in the mouth for all of the teeth. This can cause the teeth to become twisted or misaligned. Another common problem is an overbite, which occurs when the top teeth protrude further than the bottom teeth. An overbite can be caused by incorrect jaw alignment, thumb sucking or simply genetics. A third common orthodontic problem is an underbite, which is just the opposite of an overbite and occurs when the bottom teeth protrude further than the top teeth. This can also be caused by incorrect jaw alignment, thumb sucking or genetics. Lastly, one of the most frustrating orthodontic problems is gaps in the teeth, which can be caused by a variety of things such as missing teeth, large spaces between the teeth or simply genetics. No matter what the cause, though, gaps in the teeth can be very difficult to fix.
