The situation
What was the problem?
The teeth did not meet properly, with gaps and uneven contacts. This affects chewing and the long-term health of the teeth.
Case · Orthodontics
Correcting the bite
An uneven bite and gaps corrected with orthodontics, for a balanced bite. See the before and after difference.
The solution
How did we solve it?
We moved the teeth into the correct position and bite with orthodontics: the gaps closed and the contacts evened out. A retainer holds the result.
The most common fears
What people worry about, put to rest
Did it hurt?
The appliance did not hurt. After adjustments there was temporary mild pressure.
Were teeth extracted?
No. We corrected it by moving the teeth, without extractions.
How long did it take?
Correcting a bite like this usually takes 12 to 18 months, about a school year.
The result
A balanced bite, closed gaps
The teeth meet evenly, the gaps are gone, chewing is more balanced, and the smile is more aligned.
Common questions
Why does a correct bite matter?
A balanced bite protects the teeth and the jaw joint and prevents uneven wear.
Do gaps close with orthodontics?
In many cases, yes. We tell you the best option for a given gap after the examination.
