Certain people have upper front teeth that stick out and look unattractive. These ‘unmistakable’ teeth are bound to be harmed, however orthodontic treatment can move them back into line. Or on the other hand the manner in which the upper and lower jaws meet can make teeth look unattractive and lead to an inaccurate bite. Orthodontic treatment might have the option to address both of these problems.
