What causes an overbite?
An overbite occurs when the upper teeth protrude significantly over the lower teeth. Often, overbites are caused by:
- thumb sucking
- prolonged pacifier use
- excessive nail biting
- teeth grinding
-
What are the treatment options for an overbite?
Broad Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics offers various treatment options tailored to the severity of the overbite and the patient’s age and preferences. Treatment methods include:
- Braces: The most common treatment involves using metal or ceramic dental braces to gradually move the teeth into the correct position.
- Retainers keep teeth in place after braces.
- Growth Modification Devices, or palate expanders, help position the jaw properly during growth spurts to correct the overbite.
