Condition
Overbite, Underbite & Crossbite
What is overbite, underbite and crossbite?
Overbite, underbite, and crossbite are types of dental misalignments, collectively referred to as malocclusions.
An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, while an underbite happens when the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth.
Crossbite is characterised by misaligned upper and lower teeth, where some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting down.
What are the causes of these problems?
The causes of these conditions vary. Genetic factors play a significant role, with inherited jaw size or tooth alignment often contributing. Other causes include prolonged thumb-sucking or pacifier / dummy use during childhood, which can alter jaw development.
Missing teeth, crowded teeth, or jaw injuries may also lead to these misalignments. Identifying the underlying cause is key to addressing overbite, underbite, and crossbite effectively.
What is the impact of an overbite, underbite, and crossbite?
Overbite, underbite, and crossbite can cause difficulty chewing, speech problems, and increased wear on teeth.
Additional issues that could occur:
These misalignments may also lead to jaw pain, headaches, and a lack of confidence in one’s appearance, affecting overall quality of life.
