crossbites
A crossbite is a dental condition where one or more teeth are misaligned, causing them to bite on the inside or outside of the opposing teeth. This misalignment can occur in the front or back of the mouth and may affect both the upper and lower teeth. Crossbites can lead to uneven wear, jaw discomfort, and difficulty in chewing.
Treatment for crossbites often involves orthodontic methods, such as braces or clear aligners, to correct the positioning of the teeth. Early intervention is important, especially in children, as it can help prevent more serious dental issues later on. Regular visits to a dentist can help identify and address crossbites effectively.
