  All orthodontic conditions are because unique and varied as the patients involved, but there are some problems seen more often than others. These, too, vary with the patient base. For example, the most common problems for adults are different from those of kids. The most common problems may also vary from one ethnic group to a different, because many Orthodontics Rocklin difficulties are hereditary.
  
  For children, the most common orthodontic difficulties are poor alignment of teeth due to crowding and protrusion from the upper front teeth ahead of the lower teeth (frequently called 'buck teeth') due to the lower jaw being shorter than the upper jaw. The main cause of crowding stems from teeth being larger than the quantity of space available in the mouth. The causes for protrusion of the upper jaw can vary from patient to patient and can include genetic growth patterns, thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, airway obstructions that cause the child to breathe through the actual mouth and abnormal eruption of permanent teeth due to loss of baby the teeth.
  
  For adults, the most common treatments include correcting crowding or crooked teeth, closing spaces (old or new) between teeth, and correcting the placement and alignment of the teeth. Even when adult orthodontic problems are just like those of children, the treatment is different because there isn't any jaw growth in grown ups, so problems that might be easily managed in an increasing child (such being an upper jaw protrusion) may require surgery in an adult. Adults are also more likely to have gum or bone loss because of periodontal disease and put on, damaged or missing the teeth.
  
  Some of the more prevalent Braces Rocklin conditions (within children and adults) and the complications they can cause include:
  
  Overjet (protruded entrance teeth) - Unattractive and vulnerable to damage
  
  Crowded Teeth - Unattractive, difficult to clean, bone damage and chewing gum recession
  
  Underbite (lower entrance teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth) - Unattractive and uneven wear from the front teeth
  
  Deepbite (upper front teeth cover the low teeth) - Excessive wear from the front teeth and gum and bone damage behind top of the front teeth
  
  Openbite (upper and lower teeth don't meet in front) - Eating difficulties, speech problems, and excessive wear of these teeth which do fulfill; unattractive
  
  Crossbite (upper mouth is too narrow, so lower jaw swings to 1 side to allow the teeth to mesh) -- Biting and chewing issues
  
  Spacing (missing the teeth or wide dental arch and small teeth) - Unattractive and allows teeth to shift from position
  
  The American Association associated with Orthodontists recommends age seven for a child's initial orthodontic evaluation. This can be sooner if the general dentist has concerns and wishes your child to be seen through an orthodontist before age seven. Keep in mind, however, a dentist's referral is not required for the initial examination. The orthodontist usually submits a written report of his / her findings to the person's dentist. Inquire if this is done and request it if it is not.
  
  Children and adults must have a recent (within last six months) cleaning and checkup with their dentist before scheduling a good orthodontic evaluation. Whatever the orthodontic problem, the goal of all orthodontic treatment is to produce a healthy, well-functioning, stable bite.
