Other Treatments
Orthodontic issues can affect more than just your appearance. A misaligned smile can have an impact on your oral health and your overall well-being. Here’s an overview of some of the most common orthodontic problems:
Crowded Teeth
Are you noticing that your teeth have an overlap or are too close together? It can make cleaning difficult and lead to decay or gum issues. Braces or aligners help straighten and create space for proper oral hygiene.
Overbite
As the name suggests, an overbite occurs when the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth. This can potentially cause jaw strain or wear on the enamel. Treatment can realign the bite for better function.
Underbite
This is when the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth, which can interfere with several functions of your mouth like chewing and speech. Orthodontic treatment can shift teeth into the correct position and can improve the functionality of your teeth.
Crossbite
A crossbite happens when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, causing uneven wear and potential jaw problems. Braces or aligners correct the alignment.
Open Bite: In an open bite, the upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed. This can impact chewing and speech and is treated with targeted adjustments.
Gapped Teeth
Those gaps between your teeth affect more than just the aesthetics of your smile. This can also lead to several gum issues. Orthodontic solutions can close these gaps for a more even smile.
Impacted Teeth
Sometimes, teeth fail to emerge correctly, becoming stuck in the jawbone or gums. Orthodontics can help guide these teeth into place.

Don’t want your orthodontic treatment to interrupt your everyday lifestyle? We have got you covered. For those seeking a flexible and discreet way to straighten their teeth, night-time-only aligner treatment offers an excellent alternative.
While other treatments require you to wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day, this treatment lets you wear aligners primarily when you sleep, typically for 10-12 hours. If you are someone with a busy schedule or someone preferring minimal daytime impact, this is an ideal approach for you!
Yes, night-time aligners do take slightly longer to achieve the desired results when compared to other traditional options, but they can effectively address mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, such as minor crowding or spacing issues.
At Central Coast Orthodontics, we customize these treatments to align with your lifestyle and goals, ensuring progress without disrupting your daily activities.
Retainers are an important part of your orthodontic journey. They ensure your teeth remain in their new, aligned positions after braces or aligners. Once orthodontic treatment concludes, teeth have a natural tendency to shift back to their original alignment due to forces like jaw movement and oral habits. Retainers act as a safeguard, helping you preserve the smile you worked so hard to achieve.
Typically, there are two types of retainers, fixed and removable. Fixed retainers are discreet wires bonded to the back of your teeth, offering continuous support without the need for daily removal.
Removable retainers, such as clear plastic retainers or the traditional wire-and-acrylic design, can be taken out for cleaning and eating, making them a convenient choice for many patients.
