The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by this type of bite.
The upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
Proper chewing is impacted by this type of bite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not overlap. Openbite may cause a number of unwanted habits, such as tongue thrusting.
Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum. Crowding can often be corrected by expansion, and many times, tooth removal can be avoided.
Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth, or they may only be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue.
Midline misalignment occurs when the vertical line between the two upper front teeth does not align with the line between the two lower front teeth, or when these lines do not match the center of the face.
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.
