Dr. Lechlak Answers Questions About Orthodontic Problems
 

"Dr. Lechlak, what causes orthodontic problems?"

 
Most orthodontic problems are inherited, including tooth size and jaw size.  Overbites, underbites, extra or missing teeth, and irregularities of the jaw, teeth, and face also are inherited.

Other orthodontic problems can be caused from accidents, pacifiers or thumb sucking, dental disease, or the premature loss of either the primary or permanent teeth.
 

"What habits contribute to bad bites?"

 
At Orthodontic Associates, we see a number of childhood habits that can lead to orthodontic problems, such as thumb or finger sucking, sucking on a pacifier, sucking on a lip, mouth breathing, fingernail biting, and "tongue thrust".

For more information about how we at Orthodontic Associates can help you with dental braces, call us at (800) 454-9875, we will be happy to talk with you.
