What Is An Overjet?
An overjet refers to the horizontal protrusion of the upper front teeth beyond the lower front teeth. It is often confused with an overbite which is a vertical misalignment. While some degree is considered normal. However, an excessive overjet of more than 2-3 mm is referred to as buck teeth.
Causes Of A Overjet
- Genetics: Jaw size and shape are inherited from the family.
- Tooth Eruption Issues: Uneven tooth growth can cause misalignment.
- Jaw Development: Abnormal jaw growth can lead to an overjet.
- Habitual Factors: Prolonged thumb-sucking can lead to an overjet.
