Anterior Crossbite
The primary or permanent maxillary incisors locked lingual to mandibular incisors.
Posterior Crossbite
The primary permanent maxillary posterior teeth in lingual position in relation to the mandibular teeth.
Crowding
Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum. Crowding can often be corrected by expansion, and many times, tooth removal can be avoided.
Protrusion
The upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
Open Bite
Proper chewing is impacted by this type of bite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not overlap. Openbite may cause a number of unwanted habits, such as tongue thrusting.
