Upper Front Teeth Protrusion The appearance and function of your
teeth are impacted by this type of bite. It is characterized by
the upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not
extending far enough forward. The upper front teeth extend out
over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front
teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth. The upper teeth sit
inside the lower teeth, which may cause tooth stratification and
misaligned jaw growth. Proper chewing is impacted by this type
of bite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not
overlap. Openbite may cause a number of unwanted habits, such as
tongue thrusting. Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient
room to erupt from the gum. Crowding can often be corrected by
expansion, and many times, tooth removal can be avoided. Spacing
problems may be caused by missing teeth, or they may only be a
cosmetic or aesthetic issue. Dental midlines not matched This
