The overall time to fix a crossbite will depend upon the type and severity of the case.

how does crossbite affect your face?

crossbite can affect the development of the jaw in young patients if it occurs at an early age. It can also lead to aesthetic issues while making your face look asymmetrical, especially near the mouth area. You can also experience difficulty in eating and speaking along with problems in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

at what age should a crossbite be corrected?

the treatment for a crossbite can be started safely at an early age of 12-14 years. However, in some severe cases, your orthodontist may recommend starting the treatment before that. The right age for treating a crossbite can be rightfully decided by your orthodontist depending upon the type and severity of your case.

what is the fastest way to correct crossbite?

the fastest way to correct crossbite is with the use of clear aligners that will effectively treat a mild case of crossbite within 8-12 months. However, the overall time of treatment can vary depending on the type and severity of your case. In some cases, your orthodontist can recommend a corrective jaw surgery to treat your crossbite in the fastest way.

will crossbite be corrected on its own?

it is likely for crossbite to correct itself during early childhood stages with the presence of milk teeth. If the crossbite is still present after the age of 8-9 years, you should consult an orthodontist for the correct treatment. Various orthodontic methods will be recommended to treat the crossbite effectively.

what happens if you don't fix a crossbite?

if crossbite is not treated in time, it can cause dental issues such as uneven wear and tear of teeth, teeth grinding, tooth loss, cavities, jaw problems, etc. An open bite can also lead to other problems such as difficulty in speaking and eating, headaches, neck and shoulder pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, etc.

does crossbite get worse with age?

yes, crossbite can get worse with age as your teeth can continue to shift while making the misalignment more complex. If the crossbite is not treated in time, it can get worse leading to problems such as difficulty in speaking and eating, tooth loss, jaw problems, cavities, and much more.

does crossbite affect speech?

yes, crossbite can affect your speech making it difficult for you to speak clearly at times. Your teeth should be aligned properly to create an airtight seal for your tongue so it can move properly while speaking. However, in crossbite, the misaligned teeth won’t create the required space for your tongue in your mouth to carry out seamless communication.

do braces help crossbite?

braces is the most common method to treat almost all cases of crossbite. Braces can also carry out jaw alignment to some degree with the use of other dental appliances. However, you can use clear aligners to treat crossbite issues in less time and in the most discreet way.

Can you live with crossbite?

crossbite can lead to various oral health issues such as cavities, tooth decay, uneven wear and tear of teeth, and much more. If you don’t treat the crossbite, you can also experience headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and asymmetry in your face. Therefore, it is recommended to treat your crossbite at the earliest to avoid such issues.
