Overbite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An overbite is a term used to describe the upper front teeth\noverlapping with the lower front teeth. Most people have an overbite to some\nextent, but when it is pronounced there can be some issues. Firstly, an\noverbite can cause issues relating to confidence in the appearance,\nparticularly if it is very noticeable. Secondly, in the long term, it can cause\nissues such as the teeth becoming worn down and even discomfort in the jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underbite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An underbite occurs when a person\u2019s lower teeth at the front\nof the mouth partially cover the upper teeth when the mouth is closed. For\npeople who have an underbite, there may be some difficulty in chewing food in a\nnormal fashion. It can also cause the deterioration of teeth over time, as they\nare worn down more rapidly by their positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross bite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a person closes their mouth, and some of the upper teeth\nmove inside the lower teeth while the upper and lower jaws are misaligned; this\nis known as a cross bite. As with an overbite or underbite, this issue can\ncause the teeth to be eroded more rapidly over time. A cross bite can also\ncause gum recession that can result in discomfort, possible bone loss and even\ntooth loss in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gap teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term gap teeth is used to describe additional spaces\nbetween the teeth. As well as potentially making a person self-conscious, gap\nteeth can cause difficulties in maintaining oral health. The spaces between the\nteeth can be damaged by having food stuck in them for long periods of time, as\nthey are difficult to clean. If this continues in the long term, then the\nperson can be at risk of developing gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open bite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An open bite occurs when the lower and upper teeth don\u2019t meet\nwhen a person closes their mouth. This can cause problems with chewing or\nbiting into some harder foods such as apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowded teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there isn\u2019t enough space for the teeth, and they become\ncrowded, they can become very difficult to keep clean by brushing and flossing.\nIf this isn\u2019t resolved, then oral health may deteriorate and the person may\neven suffer from gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
