What is a crossbite?

A crossbite is a type of bite problem when one or more upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth when the mouth is closed. It may involve a single tooth or several teeth, and range from mild to severe.

The two types of crossbite are:

Anterior crossbite - Affecting the front teeth

Posterior crossbite - The back teeth

Symptoms:

Difficulty chewing or biting
Jaw pain or discomfort
Uneven wear on the teeth
Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
Facial asymmetry
Increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease

Causes:

Genetics
Delayed or abnormal eruption of adult teeth
Prolonged thumbsucking or pacifier use
Mouth breathing
Development issues and a cleft palate

Crossbite treatment options

The treatment for a crossbite depends on the severity of the bite and the issues it’s causing (if any).

Traditional braces are the recommended option for those with moderate to severe crossbite problems.

However, if it is the palate or jaw that is causing the bite problem, palatal expanders or surgical correction may be needed.

For a minor crossbite, clear aligners can make more of a difference than you think. They’re less invasive, more affordable, and perfect for those wanting to make subtle adjustments.
