The most common anterior teeth disorders

Overjets and overbites account for most dental disorders for which people come to orthodontists. Overjets and overbites are similar, as both of them involve the upper front teeth.

An overjet refers to a condition when the upper front teeth protrude outward and cover the bottom front teeth. In overjet, the upper jaw is positioned at an outward angle. It is important to know that 3-5 mm protruding of the upper front teeth is natural, but cases in which protruding is more than 5mm are called overjet. Over time, the disorder develops horizontal spaces between the upper and bottom jaws teeth.
