 It is also known as buccal or lingual placement. It's where multiple teeth or one tooth grows closer to the cheek or tongue and does not match to the teeth in the lower or upper jaw. Furthermore, a crossbite will result in lateral misalignment teeth in your mouth.

 Crowding is when there isn't enough room between your teeth and the jaw. The teeth can appear as if they are stacked over each and may be displaced or rotated. Crowding is caused by late or early tooth loss, improper eruption, and the size of your tooth.

 Overbite Asymmetry: The lower and upper teeth naturally meet. Overbite happens when there's more overlap. Overbites can be as little as a millimeter or as large as several centimeters. A severe overbite may cause jaw grinding, jaw clenching or headaches.

 A bridge is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth or teeth. It's made by taking an impression of the surrounding teeth, which will eventually support the bridge.

 A bridge is usually created from precious metal and porcelain and will be fixed in your mouth (unlike dentures, which can be removed).

 A crown is a type of cap that completely covers a real tooth. It's usually made from metal, porcelain fused to metal, or ceramic and is fixed in your mouth.

 Crowns can be fitted where a tooth has broken, decayed or been damaged, or just to make a tooth look better.

 To fit a crown, the old tooth will need to be drilled down so it's like a small peg the crown will be fixed on to.

 It can take some time for the lab to prepare a new crown, so you probably will not have the crown fitted on the same day.

 Fillings are used to repair a hole in a tooth caused by decay. The most common type of filling is an amalgam made from a mixture of metals including mercury, silver, tin and copper.

 Your dentist will offer the most appropriate type of filling according to your clinical needs. This includes white fillings, if appropriate.

 Root canal treatment (also called endodontics) tackles infection at the centre of a tooth (the root canal system).

 When the blood or nerve supply of the tooth has become infected, the infection will spread and the tooth may need to be taken out if root canal treatment is not carried out.

 During treatment, all the infection is removed from inside the root canal system.

 The root canal is filled and the tooth is sealed with a filling or crown to stop it becoming infected again.

 Root canal treatment usually requires 2 or more visits to your dentist.

 Scale and polish is where your teeth are professionally cleaned by the hygienist. It involves carefully removing the deposits that build up on the teeth (tartar).

Ceramic

 Braces (orthodontic treatment) straighten or move teeth to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work.

 Braces can be removable, so you can take them out and clean them, or fixed, so they're stuck to your teeth and you cannot take them out.

 They can be made of metal, plastic or ceramic. Invisible braces are made of a clear plastic.

 Braces are available on the NHS for children and, occasionally, for adults, depending on the clinical need.

 The wisdom teeth grow at the back of your gums and are the last teeth to come through, usually in your late teens or early twenties.

 Most people have 4 wisdom teeth, 1 in each corner.

 Wisdom teeth can sometimes emerge at an angle or get stuck and only emerge partially. Wisdom teeth that grow through in this way are known as impacted.

 If your wisdom teeth are impacted but are not causing any problems, they do not usually need to be removed.

 But sometimes they cause problems and can be removed on the NHS. Your dentist may perform the procedure, or they may refer you to a dentist with a special interest, or to a hospital's oral and maxillofacial unit.

 You'll usually have to pay a charge for wisdom tooth removal. If you're referred to a hospital for NHS treatment, you will not have to pay a charge.

 Your dentist can also refer you for private wisdom teeth treatment.

 Implants are a fixed alternative to removable dentures.

 You can use implants to replace just a single tooth or several teeth.

 To fit an implant, titanium screws are drilled into the jaw bone to support a crown, bridge or denture.

 Replacement parts take time to prepare because they need to fit your mouth and other teeth properly. This means they may not be available on your first visit to the dentist.

 Implants are usually only available privately and are expensive. They're sometimes available on the NHS for patients who cannot wear dentures or whose face and teeth have been damaged, such as people who have had mouth cancer or an accident that's knocked a tooth out.

 More commonly known as false teeth, dentures are fitted in place of natural teeth.

 A full set is used to replace all your teeth. A partial set is used to replace 1 or more missing teeth.

 Dentures are custom-made using impressions (mouldings) from your gums. They're usually made from metal or plastic.

 They're removable, and you can clean them by soaking them in a cleaning solution.

 Dentures are important if you lose your natural teeth, as losing your teeth makes it difficult to chew your food, which will adversely affect your diet and may cause your facial muscles to sag.

 If the tooth is just chipped, make a non-emergency dental appointment to have it smoothed down and filled or have a crown.
