Teeth Problems We Treat in Bangalore
Understanding orthodontic conditions is the first step toward a healthier, more confident smile. Learn about common dental problems and how they can be corrected.
Common Teeth Problems and Orthodontic Conditions
Orthodontic conditions refer to irregularities in the alignment of teeth and jaws that affect both appearance and function. These dental problems range from mild spacing issues to complex bite misalignments that impact chewing, speaking, and overall oral health.
The good news is that most teeth alignment issues can be effectively corrected with proper orthodontic treatment. Whether you're dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, protruding teeth, or bite problems like overbites and underbites, modern orthodontics offers solutions for patients of all ages.
At Curve Orthodontics in Haralur Road, Bangalore, Dr. Garima Gupta (MDS Orthodontics) specializes in diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of orthodontic conditions. Using advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment planning, we help patients understand their specific teeth problems and the most effective path to correction.
Orthodontic Conditions We Treat
Crowded Teeth
Teeth overlap or twist when there's not enough space in the jaw. One of the most common teeth problems affecting both children and adults.
Gap Between Teeth
Spaces or gaps between teeth (diastema) can occur anywhere but are most noticeable between front teeth. Treatment can close these gaps effectively.
Protruding Teeth
Front teeth that stick out beyond normal position. This dental problem affects appearance and increases risk of injury to the teeth.
Overbite & Underbite
Bite problems where upper teeth overlap too much (overbite) or lower teeth protrude beyond upper teeth (underbite). Both affect function and aesthetics.
Crossbite & Open Bite
Crossbite occurs when teeth don't align properly side-to-side. Open bite means upper and lower teeth don't touch when the mouth is closed.
Abnormal Eruptions
Teeth that emerge in the wrong position, are delayed, or become impacted. Early intervention can guide proper tooth development.

Signs You May Need Orthodontic Treatment
Difficulty Chewing or Biting
If you struggle to bite into food properly or experience discomfort while chewing, your teeth may not be aligned correctly.
Teeth That Don't Meet Properly
When you close your mouth, your upper and lower teeth should fit together comfortably. Misalignment can cause uneven wear and jaw strain.
Crowded or Overlapping Teeth
Teeth that are twisted, rotated, or overlapping are harder to clean and more prone to decay and gum disease.
Visible Gaps Between Teeth
Spaces between teeth can trap food, affect speech, and impact the appearance of your smile.
Jaw Pain or Clicking
Bite problems often cause jaw joint (TMJ) issues, leading to pain, clicking sounds, or difficulty opening your mouth fully.
Mouth Breathing
Chronic mouth breathing, especially in children, can be linked to jaw development issues that orthodontic treatment can address.
Why Treating Teeth Problems Matters
Orthodontic conditions don't just affect how your smile looks—they impact your overall oral health and quality of life in several important ways.
Oral Health Impact Crowded or misaligned teeth create hard-to-reach areas where plaque and bacteria accumulate. This increases your risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, even with diligent brushing and flossing.
Functional Impact Bite problems affect how you chew food, which can lead to digestive issues. Teeth alignment issues can also cause speech difficulties and abnormal wear on tooth enamel.
Appearance and Confidence Many people feel self-conscious about crooked teeth or bite issues. Correcting these conditions can significantly boost confidence in social and professional situations.
Preventing Future Complications Left untreated, orthodontic problems typically worsen over time. Early intervention—especially in children—can prevent more complex and costly treatments later.
The important thing to understand is that these conditions don't improve on their own. Professional orthodontic treatment is the only way to achieve lasting correction.

Common Questions About Teeth Problems
What causes teeth problems and orthodontic conditions?
Orthodontic conditions can result from genetics (inherited jaw size and tooth position), childhood habits (thumb sucking, prolonged pacifier use), early loss of baby teeth, mouth breathing, or injury. Often, it's a combination of factors.
At what age should orthodontic problems be evaluated?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, the jaw is still developing and some issues are easier to correct. However, it's never too late—adults can achieve excellent results too.
Can adults fix teeth alignment issues?
Absolutely. Adults of any age can benefit from orthodontic treatment. With options like clear aligners and ceramic braces, treatment can be discreet. The only difference is that adult treatment may take slightly longer since the jaw is fully developed.
How long does treatment take for common conditions?
Treatment duration varies based on the severity of the condition. Mild cases may take 6-12 months, moderate cases 12-18 months, and complex cases 18-24 months or longer. During your consultation, we'll provide an estimated timeline for your specific situation.
Are orthodontic conditions genetic?
Genetics play a significant role in jaw size, tooth size, and how teeth develop. If parents had orthodontic issues, their children are more likely to experience similar conditions. However, environmental factors also contribute.
What happens if teeth problems are left untreated?
Untreated orthodontic conditions typically worsen over time. Consequences can include increased tooth decay, gum disease, abnormal tooth wear, jaw joint problems (TMJ), difficulty chewing, and speech issues. Early treatment is usually simpler and more effective.
Which dental problems require braces vs aligners?
Both braces and aligners can treat most orthodontic conditions. Aligners work well for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and some bite issues. Complex cases with severe crowding, significant bite problems, or rotated teeth may respond better to braces. We'll recommend the best option for your specific condition.
How do I know if my child needs orthodontic treatment?
Signs to watch for include crowded or overlapping teeth, difficulty biting or chewing, mouth breathing, thumb sucking past age 5, early or late loss of baby teeth, and teeth that don't meet properly. An evaluation can determine if treatment is needed now or if we should monitor development.
