Understanding Your Orthodontic Condition
CS Dental Hospital treats each condition with a tailored diagnostic approach. Before any appliance is selected, the orthodontist performs a full workup including panoramic X-ray, cephalometric analysis, bite mapping, and TMJ assessment — identifying not just what the teeth look like, but what is causing the misalignment and how best to correct it sustainably.
Crowding & Irregular Teeth (총생/덧니)
The most common orthodontic condition — teeth overlap, rotate, or sit irregularly due to insufficient jaw arch space. Mild to severe crowding treated with metal braces, ceramic, self-ligating, or Invisalign. Non-extraction approach applied wherever clinically appropriate.
Protruding Teeth (돌출입)
Upper and/or lower front teeth angled forward — affecting lip posture, facial profile, and bite function. Correction typically requires premolar extraction to create space for retraction. Significant facial profile improvement achieved after treatment.
Open Bite (개방교합)
Front teeth do not contact when back teeth are closed. Often related to tongue habits or skeletal jaw development. Vertical dimension correction required. Invisalign has shown particularly strong results for anterior open bite.
Deep Bite / Overbite (과개교합)
Upper front teeth excessively overlap lower — opposite of open bite. Causes TMJ stress and accelerated tooth wear. Corrected with vertical dimension opening mechanics. Invisalign bite ramps are highly effective.
Underbite & Prognathism (반대교합/주걱턱)
Lower jaw positioned in front of the upper. Moderate dental cases correctable with orthodontics alone. Severe skeletal underbite may require combined orthognathic surgery and orthodontics.
Crossbite & Asymmetry (교차교합/안면비대칭)
Upper and lower teeth horizontally misaligned — can affect individual teeth or full arch. Often associated with facial asymmetry and jaw deviation. TMJ evaluation is especially important for crossbite cases.
Widely Spaced Teeth (벌어진치아)
Gaps between teeth from jaw size discrepancy, missing teeth, or habits. Orthodontic closure through arch consolidation. Invisalign is particularly effective for spacing cases. Cause assessed before treatment to prevent relapse.
Orthodontic Conditions — Quick Reference
Each condition has distinct causes, mechanics, and expected treatment outcomes.
Crowding (총생/덧니)
Most Common · All SeveritiesOverlapping or rotated teeth due to insufficient arch space. Non-extraction preferred. Metal, ceramic, self-ligating, or Invisalign.
- Mild to severe all treatable
- Non-extraction where possible
- 18–24 months average
- All appliance types suitable
Open Bite (개방교합)
Vertical Bite CorrectionFront teeth don't meet when back teeth close. Often tongue-related or skeletal. Vertical dimension correction required.
- Tongue habit addressed where relevant
- TMJ involvement assessed
- Invisalign strong for open bite
- 20–28 months average
Underbite (반대교합)
Lower Jaw ProtrusionLower jaw in front of upper. Moderate dental cases: orthodontic only. Severe skeletal: surgery assessed.
- Dental cases: orthodontic-only
- Severe skeletal: surgical assessment
- Functional and aesthetic improvement
- 22–30 months average
From Condition Diagnosis to Correction
Every condition treated with a tailored, diagnostics-led approach.
Condition Assessment
Clinical exam, X-rays, bite mapping, TMJ check. Identifies specific condition type, severity, and whether dental, functional, or skeletal factors are involved.
Treatment Planning
Approach tailored to your condition. Appliance type, extraction plan if any, and timeline confirmed. Realistic outcome discussed.
Active Treatment
Condition-specific mechanics applied. Different for crowding vs open bite vs underbite. Regular monitoring against treatment goals.
Retention & Stability
Personalised retention protocol. Some conditions (open bite, underbite) have higher relapse tendency — more robust retention applied.
Who Should Seek Orthodontic Assessment at CS Dental?

ⓘ Important Considerations
- No self-diagnosis required — your orthodontist identifies the condition at consultation
- Severe skeletal jaw discrepancies may require surgical consultation alongside orthodontic treatment
- Active gum disease must be treated before orthodontic treatment can begin
