> PATIENT INFORMATION

Your smile is the most attractive part of your face. Orthodontic treatment will make your smile look fabulous. For over 30 years now Drs Brady and Harris have been helping people look better and feel better about themselves, Drs. Brady and Harris are specialist in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.

Imagine how much better you'll look and feel with a beautiful smile? Not to mention the health benefits you'll receive from healthy teeth and smile. Surveys indicate that people who have had braces live longer and have a statistically lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

Below is a list of just a few of the problems orthodontics can solve.

Crowding: Teeth may be a ligned poorly because the dental arch is small and/or the teeth are large.

Protruding upper teeth: Upper front teeth that protrude beyond normal contact with the lower front teeth are prone to injury, often indicate a poor bite of the back teeth (molars), and may indicate an unevenness in jaw growth.

Overbite: A deep overbite or deep bite occurs when the lower incisor (front) teeth bite too close or into the gum tissue behind the upper teeth.

Open bite: An open bite results when the upper and lower incisor teeth do not touch when biting down.

Spacing: If teeth are missing or small, or the dental arch is very wide, space between the teeth can occur.

Crossbite: The most common type of a crossbite is when the upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth (toward the tongue).

Underbite or lower jaw protrusion: About 3 to 5 percent of the population has a lower jaw that is to some degree longer than the upper jaw.
