Crossbites
Crossbites occur when you close your mouth and a portion of your upper teeth falls inside your lower teeth. This usually means the lower teeth are closer to the cheeks than the upper ones.
Crossbites are far rarer than either overbites
or underbites, but nonetheless remain very serious. Aside from aesthetic concerns, crossbites cause oral stress that leads to gum disease and similar dental issues. Just like with overbites and underbites, jaw pain and damage to gums and teeth is an expected consequence of untreated an crossbite.
To treat crossbites, we offer both Braces and Aligners. Please
contact us for a dental consultation or appointment.
