A healthy bite means the upper and lower teeth meet correctly when you chew, speak and rest. Problems such as an overbite (upper teeth too far forward), underbite (lower jaw ahead of the upper), crossbite or open bite can cause uneven tooth wear, difficulty chewing, speech issues and strain on the jaw joints.
Our Consultant Orthodontist identifies whether the problem lies in the position of the teeth, the growth of the jaws, or both — and treats it with the right combination of braces, aligners, and growth-guidance or functional appliances. Treating jaw discrepancies during childhood growth is often simpler, which is why early assessment matters.
Children whose jaw growth appears uneven, and teens or adults experiencing chewing difficulty, uneven tooth wear, jaw discomfort or a visibly protruding or receding jaw.
