What Is An Edge To Edge Bite?
An edge-to-edge is defined as a condition when both upper and lower arches meet at the edges instead of slightly overlapping. This can lead to excessive wear down of tooth enamel making them sensitive and prone to damage.
Causes of Edge-to-Edge Bite
- Genetics: Jaw size or shape inherited from family
- Lifestyle: Thumb-sucking or prolonged use of pacifiers in childhood
- Injury: Trauma due to accidents may impact the jaw alignment
