Should I get my overbite checked?

By Lotus Dental and Aesthetics Clinic

If you have an overbite this means that your upper teeth cover your lower teeth. This can cause some dental problems.

Key takeaways:

– An overbite can make your teeth rub and wear more easily.

– Overbites can be accompanied by pain in the face and jaw.

– Occasionally the lower teeth can hit the gums causing damage and inflammation.

See your dentist who may be able to correct your overbite and avoid further issues.

“Overbites can cause your teeth to wear down in ways they wouldn’t normally if the overbite wasn’t present.”
