Upper Front Teeth Protrusion (Overjet)
The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by this type of bite. It is characterized by the upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough forward.
Overbite
The upper front teeth extend down over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
Crossbite
The upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which may cause tooth wear and misaligned jaw growth as well as problems chewing.
Openbite
Proper chewing is impacted by this type of bite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not meet. Openbite may exist with a number of unwanted habits, such as tongue thrusting and thumb or finger sucking.
Crowding
Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum. Crowding can often be corrected by braces, and tooth removal can be avoided in most cases.
Spacing
Spacing problems may be caused by missing or small teeth, or they may only be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue.
Dental midlines not matched
This type of problem is caused when the back bite does not fit and match appropriately, which may negatively impact jaw and proper dental function.
