Common Orthodontic Problems We Fix in Bountiful
If you recognize your problem below, you're in the right place. We treat all of these — with braces, Invisalign, or a combination — at our Bountiful office.
Crowded Teeth
Not enough room in the jaw for teeth to sit properly. One of the most common reasons people seek treatment.
Learn about crowding treatment →Overbite / Deep Bite
Upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth too much. Can cause wear, jaw discomfort, and affect your smile.
Learn about overbite treatment →Underbite
Lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. Best addressed early while the jaw is still growing.
Learn about underbite treatment →Crossbite
Upper and lower teeth don't align side to side. Can cause asymmetric jaw growth if left untreated in kids.
Learn about crossbite treatment →Open Bite
Front teeth don't meet when the jaw is closed. Often linked to habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting.
Learn about open bite treatment →Gap Teeth / Spacing
Spaces between teeth — from a single diastema to general spacing throughout the arch. Very treatable.
Learn about gap teeth treatment →Crooked Teeth
Teeth that are rotated, tilted, or out of position. Braces and Invisalign both work well for most crooked tooth cases.
Overjet / Protruding Teeth
Upper front teeth that stick out horizontally beyond the lower teeth. Often called "buck teeth." Very common, very treatable.
Airway & Breathing Issues
Jaw structure that affects breathing, sleep, or development. We screen for airway concerns — something many orthodontists don't do.
