It is only your dentist or orthodontist who can determine if you need orthodontic treatment through a series of medical, dental and clinical examinations, plaster model of your teeth, special x-rays and photographs. However, there are signs you can watch out for that will tell you that you might need orthodontic treatment. One is an overbite, or popularly known as “buck teeth”, where your upper front teeth stick out over the lower teeth or an under bite also known as a “bulldog” appearance where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back. Another sign is if you have a cross bite, a condition when the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth in a normal bite.
