Protruding teeth, commonly called “buck teeth,” are positioned farther forward than the surrounding teeth. Although buck teeth can be a source of self-consciousness and embarrassment, Alberta dentist Dr. Gordon Chee can recommend numerous esthetic dentistry solutions to help you look your best.

“Buck” teeth may be due to genetic factors or crowding of the teeth. Whatever reason, the condition can lead to issues with speaking and eating, not to mention the esthetic issues that can diminish self-confidence.

Treatment of protruding teeth usually requires an orthodontic solution to move the...

There are a wide variety of reasons patients prefer orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® to traditional metal braces. One of those reasons is the system's adaptability to fit each person's lifestyle.

Invisalign® works similarly to braces, gradually shifting teeth and the bite into a more cosmetically and functionally sound alignment. However, where traditional braces use metal brackets and wires that can obstruct your...
