Misaligned Teeth
Do the words underbite and overbite sound familiar?
Not only are both a form of misalignment, but their classification can also determine their severity.
Let's break down the most common:
Occurs when your lower jaw extends beyond your upper jaw.
Also known as buck teeth, this is when your upper teeth stick out further than your lower teeth
When the top front teeth extend beyond the lower front teeth horizontally
This occurs when yourupper teeth bite inside your lower teeth
This occurs when the front teeth do not overlap the lower teeth
Is the most common and least severe. These occur when your top molars overlap your bottom molars
Is diagnosed when there is a severe overbite. Typically, your upper teeth and jaw overlap with your lower teeth and jaw
Is diagnosed when there is a severe underbite and surgery is required to correct it.
Straighter teeth can improve your oral health by fighting periodontal disease, inflammation and infections.
Brushing and flossing can be a lot easier too.
Deciding the best treatment option depends on your smile goals.
