Crossbite Crossbites are where the upper and lower teeth are biting incorrectly. Crossbites can involve single or multiple teeth. A crossbite can be damaging to the teeth or force the jaw to bite in an incorrect position. The sooner a crossbite is treated the better.

Class III A Class III relationship is when there is an abnormal bite relationship between the upper and lower jaw as a result of the upper jaw being underdeveloped or the lower jaw being excessively large.
|
Class II Division 2 A Class II Division 2 problem is when there is abnormal bite relationship between the upper and lower jaws. The lower jaw may be smaller than the upper jaw or the upper may be larger than the normal lower jaw. The top teeth tip back to make contact with the bottom teeth.

Class II Division 1 Permanent Dentition A Class II problem is when there is an abnormal bite relationship between the upper and lower jaws. The lower jaw may be smaller than the upper jaw or the upper may be larger than the normal lower jaw.

Crowding Crowding is one of the most common reasons people seek orthodontic treatment. This is usually caused by a discrepancy in size between the teeth and jaws.
