Cross Bite Images
These may be in the front or rear of the mouth.
Undoubtedly, crooked teeth are associated with a crossing bite at the front of the mouth, which is undesirable. Additionally, it may shorten teeth over time due to wear and strain.
A crossing bite at the rear of the mouth may signify a thin upper jaw or an improper fit between the upper and lower jaws.
An upper jaw expander or braces alone can occasionally be used to treat a crossbite. The course of treatment is not very complicated either.
Crossbite in the front, rear or both can cause uneven jaws and teeth if left untreated. Additionally, the teeth may experience greater deterioration.
Genetics, delayed baby tooth loss, irregular permanent tooth eruption, or even persistent habits like thumb sucking or improper swallowing can all contribute to a crossbite. Bone deformation and tooth displacement are both possible.

Why Getting a Cross Bite Treatment is Necessary?
A crossbite may indicate a jaw issue that has to be treated early on while the face and jaws are still growing. If the situation is not fixed, potential effects include:
- Jaw moving to one side
- Uneven jaw development
- Enamel, the tooth’s outer layer, deteriorating
How can Dr. Surya Joseph help fix a crossbite?
A palatal expander, a permanent or detachable orthodontic appliance intended to make the upper jaw wider, may be utilized as a part of the therapy depending on the severity of the crossbite. This would be used in conjunction with dental equipment, such as clear aligners or braces, that is intended to shift the teeth.
Obtaining the assistance of a knowledgeable and experienced orthodontist, just like Dr. Surya Joseph, can help greatly in the decision-making process.
