What Is a Crossbite? (Cross Bite Explained)

A Crossbite is a common dental misalignment where one or more of your upper teeth bite inside your lower teeth instead of outside them. Think of it like a zipper that doesn't line up properly when your jaw closes; your Crossbite Teeth don't meet in their natural positions. In a healthy bite, your upper teeth should slightly overlap your lower teeth, creating a protective "roof" over them. With a Crossbite, this natural relationship is reversed or shifted, causing your teeth to clash incorrectly when you bite down.

Anterior Crossbite is when one or more of your front upper teeth bite behind your lower front teeth, creating what some people call an "underbite" appearance. This type of Crossbite is highly visible when you smile and can affect your facial profile.

Posterior Crossbite, on the other hand, is when your upper back teeth, which are molars or premolars, bite inside your lower back teeth on one or both sides of your mouth. Though they are less visible, they are often more problematic functionally, as they can cause your jaw to shift sideways when chewing.
