At Geelong & Colac Orthodontics we are about more than just pretty faces. When the jaws and /or teeth are in the incorrect position (Malocclusion) there may be a variety of problem disorders which result. We aim to create a healthier you by correcting the Malocclusion issues which can assist you in disorder prevention.

Although no symptoms may be present, a malocclusion can eventually result in damage to the poorly aligned teeth because of the incorrect forces placed on them. Severe malocclusions, such as crossbite, may also cause difficulty or discomfort when biting or chewing.

Tooth decay and gum disease can result from crowded teeth where hard to reach areas often get missed in brushing and flossing. Openbites cause impediments in speech as well as the occurrence of tongue thrust. Protruding teeth are even harder to protect from extreme contact and are very susceptible to chipping.

By correcting Malocclusions and other orthodontic conditions Geelong & Colac Orthodontics will help you on your path to being as healthy as you can be.
