Common Bite Problems: Overbite, Underbite, Crossbite & More
Overbites and How Braces Help
An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth extend noticeably over the lower teeth. While a small overbite is natural, a deep overbite can lead to worn enamel, jaw strain, or difficulty biting into foods. At Davis Orthodontics, we use braces to gently guide the teeth and jaw into better alignment so the upper and lower arches meet comfortably. Braces apply steady pressure that gradually moves the teeth into their ideal positions, improving both function and appearance.
Underbites and How Braces Help
An underbite happens when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth, often making chewing or speaking more difficult. This type of bite can develop due to jaw growth differences or hereditary factors. Braces are one of the most effective ways to correct underbites by slowly repositioning the teeth and encouraging proper jaw alignment. In some cases, elastics or specialized appliances may be used to enhance the results.
