Crowded teeth, brought into line.
When there is not enough room in the jaw, teeth overlap, twist, or sit out of the arch. Crowding makes brushing and flossing harder, which raises the risk of decay over time. Braces or clear aligners create the space needed and guide each tooth into position.

Closing the gaps.
Gaps between teeth — including a diastema between the upper front teeth — can come from tooth size, jaw size, or teeth that have drifted. Closing them evens out the smile and improves how the teeth meet. Both clear aligners and braces can move teeth together predictably.

Bringing the bite back together.
In an open bite the front teeth do not touch when the back teeth close, which makes biting into food difficult and can strain speech. Treatment moves the front teeth back into contact and addresses the habits or growth patterns behind it. Relapse cases can often be retreated successfully.

Correcting an overly deep bite.
A deep bite means the upper front teeth cover too much of the lower ones, sometimes hiding them completely. Left alone it can wear down enamel and irritate the gums behind the upper teeth. Treatment opens the bite to a healthier amount of overlap.
Guiding blocked teeth into place.
Sometimes a tooth is blocked out of the arch or fails to erupt on its own because there is no room for it. Braces can open space and gently guide the tooth into its proper position, often avoiding extraction. These cases usually need careful timing alongside growth.
Phase I care while the jaw is still growing.
Treating early — usually between ages 7 and 11 — takes advantage of active growth to correct crossbites, severe crowding, and developing bite problems. Phase I care is often shorter and simpler than waiting for all the permanent teeth. Many children need less treatment later as a result.
Aligning how the upper and lower jaws meet.
When the upper and lower jaws do not line up, the teeth can be straight and the bite still be wrong. Appliances worn alongside braces — such as a Forsus spring — encourage the jaws into a better relationship during growth. The result is a bite that functions as well as it looks.
