Dr.GEORGE BARDAWIL  enjoy providing exceptional orthodontic care in a fun, friendly environment. This includes sharing photos and testimonials on our office’s Facebook page and other social networks. We always love receiving positive feedback from patients after they complete treatment, which is why we wanted to share a great photo that our office recently received.

Congratulations to Taline.  All went well, as you can see from her beautiful smile!

Underbite and Anterior Crossbites

Ideally, top incisor teeth should overlap bottom incisors vertically and horizontally. In some individuals, one or more of the top teeth are “behind” the bottom teeth upon teeth closure. This is referred to as anterior crossbite or underjet (if all incisors are affected).
Anterior crossbite, even on a single tooth can be very destructive and should be corrected as soon as they are detected.  If left untreated, they may result in damage to the structures supporting the tooth causing looseness of the tooth, bone loss, tooth fractures and/or gum recession. If anterior crossbites left untreated it may lead to muscular spasm,ear ache,Tempero mandibular joint disorder,etc
