• Crowding – Involving extra teeth or malpositioned teeth
  
• Deep Overbite – The lower front teeth bite into the upper tissue of the upper teeth
  
• Disfiguring of the face & mouth – Affects the development of the jaw and position of the teeth
  
• Jaw & jaw joint pain
  
• Missing or extra teeth – Due to tooth decay, injuries, or inherited problems
  
• Overjet (protruding upper teeth) – Upper teeth that protrude beyond normal and are usually associated with a short lower jaw
  
• Self-image – An attractive smile can boost a person’s self-image and confidence
  
• Spacing between teeth – Teeth are missing or may be too small or too large
  
• Speech, chewing, or biting problems
  
• Underbite (lower jaw protrusion) – Lower jaw is longer than the upper jaw

• Finger or thumb sucking – These habits can cause protrusion of the upper incisor teeth, and mouth breathing.
