Overbite: Also called “buck teeth”, this is when the upper front teeth lie too far forward (stick out) over the lower teeth
Underbite: A “bulldog” appearance where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth are too far back
Crossbite: Where the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when biting together normally
Open bite: A space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth when the back teeth bite together
Misplaced midline: The centre of your upper front teeth do not line up with the centre of your lower front teeth
Spacing: Gaps or spaces between the teeth because of missing teeth, or teeth that do not “fill up” the mouth
Crowding: Too many teeth for the dental ridge to accommodate
