Depending on the types of bite and the degree of access to poor positioning of the teeth, many problems can occur in patients. Let’s look at the most common:
overbite
Overbiting of the upper front teeth is interference with regard to the position of the lower teeth. In extreme cases, when the teeth completely cover the lower teeth, it can affect the gums causing wounds and chronic wear and tear.
closed bite
A closed bite causes constant wear of the teeth. When the wear is severe, if the patient does not undergo corrective treatment, the damage to the tooth enamel becomes severe.
Cross bite
Of course, the upper teeth should be slightly ahead of the lower teeth. The cross bite is known when the position of these is, on the contrary, with the lower teeth advanced when the mouth is closed, causing the chin to protrude.
open bite
An open bite does not allow the teeth to come together somewhere in the dental arches. It usually occurs in the front, although it can also affect the posterior parts. This is due to genetic reasons, or because of the constant repetition of certain habits, which hinders the process of chewing and speaking.
bump
Colloquially known as “rabbit teeth”, more than genetic factors influence certain habits that affect the position of the teeth. It is a bite in which the upper front teeth are forward, even preventing the lips from closing properly.
Treating Allocclusive Obstructions
Most types of bites that have an occlusion can be easily corrected with orthodontic treatment. It will be an orthodontist who analyzes the specific case of each patient, and chooses the most appropriate treatment for the correct placement of the affected teeth.
To find out, among the different types of bite, which one you have, it is best to go to the dentist or make an appointment with an orthodontist, conduct a comprehensive examination to determine in what condition the oral structures are and, if necessary, apply corrective treatment.
