Overbite
An overbite is a bite disorder in which the upper front teeth excessively cover the lower ones when the mouth is closed. It is one of the so-called malocclusions, that is, misalignments in the way the teeth fit together.
How it shows: the upper teeth sit noticeably in front of or above the lower ones; in some cases it may be associated with tooth wear or discomfort when chewing.
Why it develops: hereditary factors, childhood habits, and jaw development can play a role.
Who to see? The orthodontist is the specialist who studies tooth alignment and bite, sometimes together with the maxillofacial surgeon. If you or your child have a bite that stands out, a professional evaluation helps define the most suitable plan.
