What is an edge-to-edge bite?
An edge-to-edge bite happens when the upper and lower front teeth meet directly at their biting edges instead of overlapping naturally. This bite issue can impact chewing, speech, and long-term dental health.
Causes:
Childhood habits like thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or chronic mouth breathing
Genetic factors influencing jaw growth and tooth alignment
Early loss of baby teeth leading to shifting and misaligned positions
Issues caused by an edge-to-edge bite
If left untreated, an edge-to-edge bite can lead to:
-
Excessive tooth wear and enamel erosion
-
Jaw pain and discomfort
-
Tooth chipping and fractures
-
Trouble chewing properly
-
Increased stress on jaw joints over time
