crossbite
A crossbite is a dental condition where one or more teeth do not align properly when the mouth is closed. This misalignment can occur in the front teeth, known as an anterior crossbite, or in the back teeth, referred to as a posterior crossbite. Crossbites can lead to uneven wear on teeth, jaw discomfort, and difficulties with chewing.
Treatment for a crossbite often involves orthodontic methods, such as braces or clear aligners, to correct the alignment of the teeth. In some cases, dental procedures may be necessary to reshape or reposition the affected teeth. Early intervention is important to prevent further complications related to oral health.
