Early detection of orthodontic problems
does not necessarily mean treatment.
When deemed appropriate however, early intervention can minimize the
need for more costly and extensive care
later.

“When kids smile a lot on the outside, they
smile a lot more on the inside. So having fun
is all part of my day’s work. But some kids
feel uncomfortable smiling, no matter how
much they want to. That’s why I never stop
working on building better smiles inside and
out.”
Dr. Feldman has been creating beautiful,
healthy smiles in Tampa Bay for over 30
years.
“An orthodontist’s experience and expertise can make all the difference in your
smile...”

The Warning Signs
Protruding Teeth
Excessive protrusion of the top
teeth is the most common
orthodontic problem.
Crossbites
The upper teeth fit improperly
inside the lower teeth.
Crowding/Open Bite
Crowded teeth resulting in overlapping. A separation of the front
teeth when biting down through
which the tongue can protrude
Spacing
Excessive space between the
teeth.
Underbite
Excessive protrusion of the
lower jaw and teeth.
Midline Discrepancy
Improper alignment of upper
and lower midlines and/or chin
which can affect proper fit of
the bite.
Persistent Habits
Long term finger/thumb sucking habits or tongue thrusting
which are both noted for creating multiple bite issues.
Airway Deficiency
Chronic mouth breathing can
interfere with proper development of upper and lower arches.
Check Your
Bite!
The check your bite ruler can
be used as a guide to determine protrusion of the top
front teeth… one of the most
common problems in children
today. Early detection of
extreme protrusion may allow for simple orthopedic
(skeletal) correction.
Instructions
 Cut out the ruler on the right.
 Have your child bite down on
their back teeth while smiling.
 Place the black end of the ruler
against the bottom front teeth.
 Evaluate how far the upper front
teeth protrude (stick out).
 If upper teeth fall into the red
zone we recommend a visit to
Dr. Feldman.
**The Check Your Bite Ruler
is not a substitute for an evaluation by an
orthodontic specialist, DO NOT use without
adult supervision.
