CROWDING---Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gums. Crowding can often be corrected by expansion, and many times, tooth removal can be avoided.




CROSSBITE---In a crossbite, the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which may cause tooth injury and misaligned jaw growth.






OPENBITE---Proper chewing is impacted by an openbite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not overlap. Openbites may be caused by habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting.



OVERBITE---In an overbite, 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.





SPACING---Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth or small teeth in large arches.







UNDERBITE---In an underbite, the lower jaw extends out, causing the lower teeth to sit in front of the upper front teeth.





UPPER FRONT TEETH PROTRUSION---The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by upper front teeth protrusion. It is characterized by the upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough.
