5 Orthodontic Issues that can be Fixed by Dr. Nalbandian

1.  Openbites, underbites, overbites and deep overbites– Dr. Mark Nalbandian of Wired Orthodontics in Toronto specializes in the correction of all four maloclussions of the bite, and he encourages his patients to start treatment early on because they can be typically be corrected without surgery.
2. Too many teeth: hyperdontia– Having extra teeth is called hyperdontia. People who have hyperdontia usually also have another condition, such as a cleft palate or Gardner’s Syndrome (which forms tumors that aren’t cancer). Dr. Nalbandian treats hyperdontia by removing all the extra teeth and correcting the bite with braces or Invisalign.
3. Crooked teeth– The fix will improve your overall dental health, relieving symptoms like jaw pain. Dr. Nalbandian uses braces (metal or ceramic), aligners, and retainers to straighten crooked teeth.
4. Gaps– You may not consider a gap between the front teeth a problem at all, but if you want to correct it, Dr. Nalbandian will use braces to move teeth closer together and a special glued-in retainer helps to keep the spaces closed.
5. Clenching or grinding your teeth– Grinding your teeth is called bruxism, and stress is one of the most typical causes. Misaligned teeth or sleep issues can also be culprits among adults (among kids, causes can include allergies). Bruxism can give you headaches, a sore jaw, and cracked or loose teeth. If you grind your teeth at night, Dr. Nalbandian can fit you with a mouthguard. If it’s a daytime problem, meditation, exercise or other ways to curb stress helps.
