Crossbite

Correct your crossbite with a bestsmile Aligner in just 3–12 months.

What is a crossbite?

A crossbite is a type of malocclusion in which the upper teeth fit inside of the lower teeth, with the lower teeth covering the upper ones. The upper front and back teeth are either positioned too far inward, or the lower teeth are positioned too far outward. This prevents the teeth from closing correctly. A crossbite is one of the most common malocclusions in children and adolescents.

Types of crossbite

Unilateral crossbite

The teeth are only misaligned on one side. The bite on the other side is correct.

Bilateral crossbite

Both sides of the teeth – left and right – are affected and do not clench correctly. Usually this is caused by the upper jaw being too narrow in relation to the lower jaw.

Why correct a crossbite?

If a crossbite is left untreated, the patient can experience aesthetic and medical problems.
