Types of bite problems you should know about

Deep bite

This problem arises when our mouth and lower teeth protrude excessively in relation to the upper teeth. This case, in addition to being treated as a bite problem, can be described as a problem with the lower jaw.

Crossbite

This is when the teeth do not fit together as they should, and the upper teeth are behind the lower teeth. This problem can occur on one side of your mouth, on both sides, or even on different teeth.

Open bite

This type of bite problem occurs when there are spaces between the upper and lower teeth when closing our mouth.

Although it visibly affects the aesthetics of our patients, the main reason to correct this problem is that it affects basic functions such as:

Chew
Breathing and even talking

Bite problems such as crossbite can have their origin in different situations, although almost all of them originate in the growth stage of our teeth.

Children with the bad habit of sucking their fingers or toes when going to sleep, a bad placement of the tongue, the prolonged use of bottles and pacifiers are just some of the most common external causes.
