Cross bite06/07/2004 |
How and at what age do you treat cross bite? Where the bottom teeth, especially the sides line up within the top teeth?
Crossbite is a condition that results from improper occlusion. Normally the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth, but if the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth, then a crossbite results. This condition can be corrected surgically (orthognathic surgery). But for proper diagnosis and treatment, a thorough examination is required by a prosthodontist(a specialist in occlusion) and an oral surgeon.
Warmest regards.
