What are the Different Types of Braces?
Orthodontics is the dental specialty of changing the alignment of teeth and jaws. Now, thanks to modern dental techniques, there are a few options to choose from. Which type of orthodontics you choose can be a difficult decision and one that should be made with the help of an expert like the professionals at Randy Fagan, DDS in Broken Arrow, OK.
Orthodontic techniques are used to correct a variety of alignment problems with your teeth and jaws including:

- Spaces between teeth
- An underbite caused when lower teeth protrude in front of upper teeth
- An overbite caused when upper teeth bite over lower teeth
- A crossbite caused when upper and lower jaws can’t close together
- An open bite caused when upper and lower front teeth don’t bite together
