Langley, BC - Often called "buck teeth," overjet is of particular concern for many orthodontic patients. Children often experience ridicule, particularly throughout the awkward adolescent years. However, there are legitimate physiological reasons for fixing overjet during early childhood, explains Langley braces specialist Dr. Aly Kanani.
Research has recently discovered that if a misalignment is not corrected, 75 percent of children whose overjet is 6 millimeters or more will get front teeth fractures by age 12. Because the teeth are so far forward, there is a significantly greater chance of damage - or even tooth loss - if the child sustains a blow or injury to the face. "There are all kinds of repercussions if overjet isn't corrected," notes Kanani, a Langley orthodontics specialist. Overjet can also indicate that the patient's molars are not meeting in the back of the mouth or that the jaw is not growing properly.
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends that children should see an orthodontist by age 7 since many problems are more easily fixed when they are found early, observes the Langley orthodontist. At this age, adult front teeth are emerging, so the doctor can be alert for overjet and decide on the optimal time for treatment.
Overjet is considered a class II malocclusion - or misalignment of the teeth. It can be the result of tooth crowding, sucking the thumb, small lower jaws or lower jaws that are too far back."Frequently, people think that overjet and overbite are synonymous, but they are different conditions," says the Langley invisible braces specialist. Overjet describes the horizontal gap between the upper and lower front teeth; overbite refers to the vertical space from lower to upper front teeth. If the overjet is caused by thumb sucking, the condition can be ameliorated by discontinuing the habit. Dentists and orthodontists can prevent thumb sucking by placing a special appliance in the child's mouth. If the problem is caused by crowding, braces can shift teeth into their ideal position.
Patients sometimes also benefit from growth plates or functional appliances, such as the Twin Block, that bring the lower jaw forward to close up the gap, says Kanani, a Langley invisalign provider. It is often best to begin such treatment prior to a child's adolescent growth spurt. Thus, the child's facial development can direct the jaw's development.
"Oftentimes I recommend beginning treatment early," Kanani explains. "If a child's overjet is so bad that the teeth could be fractured or damaged, if the overjet affects the child’s speech, or if the child experiences ridicule, we might decide on earlier treatment."

Brushing with Braces Described by Langley Orthodontics Specialist
Langley, BC – Patients with braces are investing a lot of time and money and should make sure their dental care habits help that investment pay off. Dr. Aly Kanani reminds his patients of this daily in his Langley orthodontics center. "Teeth with braces need particular care," he warns Dr. Aly Kanani. “Patients must be careful about what they eat and how they clean their teeth. If they fail to clean thoroughly, it can lead to cavities and gum disease. Teeth that are wearing braces are just more vulnerable."
Brushing
Flossing
It’s tricky to floss with braces. First, thread the end of the floss into the place between the archwire and the tooth's upper portion, nearest the gum. Slide the floss back and forth to gently clean each tooth’s sides. But, be careful not to exert too much pressure or you could hurt the archwire – and try not to snag the floss on your braces. "Many patients find that waxed floss and a floss threader make flossing easier," says Kanani, a Langley invisible braces expert.
Eating
Some foods aren't a problem if you slice them into small pieces that can be chewed more easily. But, you do want to avoid extremely hard, chewy, or sticky foods that could stick to or damage your braces. Such foods include:
• Foods that are difficult to bite and chew such as corn on the cob, ice, apples, and bagels
• Chewy foods, including taffy, caramels, and gum
• Hard foods such as nuts, carrots, and popcorn

Dr. Aly Kanani has a Bachelor's from McGill University and a Master's from the London School of Economics. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the University of Pennsylvania – and graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy with a Master’s degree in Orthodontics and a Specialty Certification in Orthodontics. His team of orthodontists and clinical staff provide exceptional orthodontics and Invisalign for adults, teenagers, and children.
Brushing
Patients can find "orthodontic-cut" or "v-cut" toothbrushes with soft bristles shaped to fit around braces. You also need to use a fluoride toothpaste; a fluoride rinse after brushing is also a good idea. "We recommend that you brush after each meal or snack," says Kanani, a Langley invisalign provider.
On every tooth, brush down from the top and then up from the bottom – keeping the brush at a 45 degree angle. But, brush gently; vigorous brushing can bend or break your braces. And, rinse and spit several times. Kanani, a Langley orthodontist, tells his patients to get a new brush every three months, since braces can cause brushes to wear out more rapidly.

Invisalign Teen System Provided by Langley Orthodontist
Langley BC – Langley invisible braces specialist Dr Aly Kanani offers Invisalign Teen for his practice’s teen patients. The Invisalign invisible braces system employs a series of 18-30 individual, custom-made aligners to gently reposition teeth. Invisalign is clear and less noticeable than conventional braces with their brackets and wires. Unlike with metal braces, the aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking, and brushing teeth – and they are more comfortable.
“Teens are notoriously self-conscious about how they look,” observes Dr. Kanani, a Langley braces expert. “A set of prominent metal braces can pile onto these self-esteem problems. Some teens don’t even smile because they don’t want to show their braces! Since Invisalign Teen is almost invisible, patients are far less self-conscious.” Invisalign is versatile, allowing orthodontists to correct many issues, such as: crowding, widely space teeth, and even underbites, overbites, and crossbites, depending on the situation.
Patients can remove their aligners to brush and floss. Conventional metal braces, with bands and wires, catch food. This is not just a potential embarrassment to teen patients, but it can also make it more difficult to brush effectively, encouraging cavities.
Patients can remove the aligners for 2 to 4 hours a day without impairing treatment. Many teens take the devices out for sports events, playing brass or woodwind instruments, or special occasions. “Our teen patients are grateful for the flexibility to remove the aligners every once and a while,” says Dr. Kanani, a Langley Invisalign provider.
Invisalign Teen also employs a unique system to check if teen patients are wearing their aligners for enough of time. “Invisalign patients need to wear their aligners 20 to 22 hours daily,” explains Dr. Kanani, a Langley BC orthodontics specialist. “The Invisalign Teen system includes an exclusive Blue Dot Wear Indicator that grows clear over a two week period. This tells us if a teen is wearing the aligners often enough. If he or she doesn’t remember to replace the aligner back in, it will compromise the overall treatment. However, Invisalign Teen lets us know.” Furthermore, the Invisalign aligners can be replaced if a teen patient loses one – or more. The system includes as many as six replacement aligners at no additional cost.
Invisalign Teen is good for most children 12 and older. Children under 12 frequently do not have all their adult teeth, so system may not be as effective. But, younger children can be treated with other kinds of orthodontic systems. "However, we have employed Invisalign Teen successfully with teens whom other specialists had said weren’t good candidates," notes Dr. Kanani, a Langley orthodontist, "With my broad experience as an Invisalign specialist, I know precisely what Invisalign can accomplish. I have corrected some significant misalignments that other orthodontists believed would need conventional braces."

Surrey Invisible Braces Providers Explains How Children Benefit from Braces
Langley, BC – Braces are a common part of childhood, but many parents aren’t familiar with all of their benefits. “A properly aligned bite can grant a child myriad tangible and intangible benefits,” says Dr. Aly Kanani, a Surrey Invisible braces provider.
Straight teeth are often perceived as just a question of appearance. But, crooked teeth are difficult to clean – and can cause decay, gum disease, and loss of teeth. Poor bites also lead to abnormal wear on teeth, troubles with chewing, and too much stress on the jaw bone and gums.
“If you can correct a problem with your bite during childhood, you will grow into adulthood with a healthy smile,” says Dr. Kanani, a Langley invisible braces provider. “Children’s braces prevent a many different problems in adulthood.”
In addition, a nice smile has been found to increase self esteem. “If you are confident about your smile, you will smile more often,” explains Dr. Kanani, a Langley Invisalign specialist. “When you smile more, the people around you respond more positively.”
In our culture, individuals are often evaluated based on their appearance. People with an attractive smile usually enjoy more personal and professional opportunities. Plus, a winning smile boosts self-confidence – an important component in future success.

Langley Orthodontics Office Hosts Local Langley Brownie Troop
LANGLEY, BC - In keeping with Canada Dental Health Month, Langley orthodontist office Langley Orthodontics is hosting a local Brownie troop and educating the girls about proper oral hygiene. Langley Orthodontics is certified specialist in orthodontics office providing children and adult braces, and Invisalign in Langley, BC.

“Around this age is when children are beginning to take charge of their oral care,” says Dr. Aly Kanani, an orthodontist with Surrey Orthodontics and Langley Invisalign. “So, it’s a critical time to teach them the basics of how to care for their teeth – which goes beyond brushing. A balanced diet is just as important for your teeth as it is for the rest of your body.”
The evening wasn’t only educational. There were fun activities for the brownie troop, including storytelling and watching animated presentations, all at Langley Orthodontics in the heart of Langley, BC. And each Brownie had a smiling photograph of them taken to take home and also had a mould of their thumb taken. It was cast in stone and each Brownie will soon be able to take their mould home to show their family and friends as a keepsake.
“My dedicated staff and I feel truly privileged to play this important role in the Langley, BC community. We enjoy very much interacting with the local children and community groups. It’s a great feeling to give back to our community and we look forward to continue to do so with other groups”, exclaimed the Langleybraces provider.

Langley Orthodontics Expert in Langley Can Correct Malocclusions
LANGLEY, BC - Malocclusion may sound like a fancy medical term, but it’s actually Latin for “bad bite” and is used to describe teeth that do not fit together properly. So, it’s the kind of thing the Langley, BC orthodontists at Langley Orthodontics help their patients with every day. Langley Orthodontics is also a Premier Provider Elite of the Invisalign system of invisible braces.
A bad bite might sound like something that only affects your appearance, but it can actually have an impact on a patient’s quality of life in many different ways. Malocclusions are many times inherited. The size of teeth and jaw is the biggest determinant for how well teeth fit together, but often teeth have too much or too little room in the jaw. However, malocclusions can also be acquired by thumb-sucking, tongue thrusting, dental decay, premature loss of primary or permanent teeth, accidents or some medical problems.
Types of Malocclusions:
Treating Malocclusions
Few people have perfectly aligned teeth, but not every problem needs to be fixed. Children usually do not grow out of a malocclusion problem. Occasionally, it may be necessary to extract teeth to correct a malocclusion. More severe malocclusions in adults may need to be fixed with orthognathic surgery to change the shape of the jaw. But most bite problems can be corrected with fixed braces or removable appliances such as Langley, BC Invisalign clear aligners.
“Between the use of removable appliances, metal braces, clear braces, corrective jaw surgery, and Invisalign invisible braces, we have treated all types of malocclusions. We have treated everything from mild cases to very bad bite problems,” says Dr. Aly Kanani Vancouver invisalign orthodontist at the Langley office of Langley Orthodontics. “ Adults and teens who have all of their adult molars respond well to Invisalign depending on their situation. Children usually need traditional braces. Some adult patients opt for Langley, BC Invisible braces.”
Invisalign is a clear system of straightening teeth without wires or brackets. Many patients prefer Invisalign invisible braces since they feel self-conscious about a mouthful of traditional braces. The Invisalign aligners are removable, so there are no restrictions on what a patient can eat. And the aligners are typically more comfortable than traditional braces.
“Our patients are always surprised how easy the process is at our offices,” says Kanani, a Langley, BC braces orthodontist.. “We get them a dazzling smile more quickly – and with less pain and trouble – than they expect.”

A bad bite might sound like something that only affects your appearance, but it can actually have an impact on a patient’s quality of life in many different ways. Malocclusions are many times inherited. The size of teeth and jaw is the biggest determinant for how well teeth fit together, but often teeth have too much or too little room in the jaw. However, malocclusions can also be acquired by thumb-sucking, tongue thrusting, dental decay, premature loss of primary or permanent teeth, accidents or some medical problems.
Types of Malocclusions:
- Class I Malocclusion: Teeth are crowded together or spaced apart – or they create an overbite or a crossbite.
- Class II Malocclusion: The upper front teeth protrude or the lower teeth and jaw are too far back relative to the upper teeth.
- Class III Malocclusion: The lower front teeth protrude or the lower teeth and jaw are too far ahead relative to the upper teeth.
Treating Malocclusions
Few people have perfectly aligned teeth, but not every problem needs to be fixed. Children usually do not grow out of a malocclusion problem. Occasionally, it may be necessary to extract teeth to correct a malocclusion. More severe malocclusions in adults may need to be fixed with orthognathic surgery to change the shape of the jaw. But most bite problems can be corrected with fixed braces or removable appliances such as Langley, BC Invisalign clear aligners.
“Between the use of removable appliances, metal braces, clear braces, corrective jaw surgery, and Invisalign invisible braces, we have treated all types of malocclusions. We have treated everything from mild cases to very bad bite problems,” says Dr. Aly Kanani Vancouver invisalign orthodontist at the Langley office of Langley Orthodontics. “ Adults and teens who have all of their adult molars respond well to Invisalign depending on their situation. Children usually need traditional braces. Some adult patients opt for Langley, BC Invisible braces.”
