What Is A Crossbite?
A crossbite is a dental condition that affects the alignment of the teeth. It occurs when the upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth, impacting the normal position. This type of malocclusion can affect a single tooth, multiple teeth, or group of teeth.
Causes Of A Crossbite
- Genetics: Jaw size or shape inherited from family.
- Lifestyle: Thumb-sucking or prolonged use of pacifiers in childhood.
- Bruxism: Teeth grinding or clenching over time.
Types Of Crossbite
Posterior Crossbite:
When the upper back teeth are affected.
Anterior Crossbite:
It occurs when the upper front teeth are in a crossbite.
Buccal Crossbite:
When one or more of the upper back teeth bite completely outside of the lower teeth.
