A broken bracket can feel alarming, but handling it correctly can prevent further issues. Start by assessing the damage—if the bracket is still attached to the wire, cover any sharp edges with orthodontic wax. If it’s detached, keep it in a safe place and avoid hard foods that might shift the wire. Use a small, clean tool to adjust any poking wires carefully.
Overbites and underbites are two types of malocclusion that affect the alignment of the teeth and jaw. While an overbite causes the upper teeth to excessively overlap the lower teeth, an underbite occurs when the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth. These conditions can lead to dental problems such as uneven tooth wear, jaw pain, and difficulty chewing.
Many people associate Invisalign with straightening crooked teeth, but what about broadening your smile? It’s a common question—can those clear aligners really help make your smile wider? In certain cases, yes. Invisalign can move teeth outward slightly, expanding the arch and creating a more prominent smile.
Whether you have misaligned teeth or just need your smile to be straighter, visit our orthodontist in Boca Raton to achieve your goals.
