The Importance of Correcting your Overbite from Precision Dental
What is an Overbite?
This is a common problem where the upper teeth are positioned more forward than the bottom teeth, thus giving it the appearance of “bucked teeth”.
Many factors contribute to an overbite, including genetics, thumb sucking, trauma to the chin, the early loss of lower baby teeth, etc.
If left untreated, overbites may lead to the following dental problems:
Bottom front teeth may harm the gums above the top front teeth.
Speech impediments.
May cause jaw problems.
Unattractive smile and overall appearance.
Overbite Correction Treatments in Fortitude Valley
Some habits such as thumb sucking and tongue thrusting can contribute to malocclusion because the thumb pushes the upper front teeth and bone forward.
Some of the likely treatments for overbites include:
Invisalign clear aligners to slowly and discreetly move the teeth and jaw to their correct position.
Braces to slowly move the teeth and jaw to the correct position.
Teeth removal for children and teens to create room for the adult teeth to grow straight.
Oral surgery to correct severe jaw problems in adults.
For any bite problems, don’t hesitate to see your dentist immediately.
