An overjet, also called a protrusion or a class II overbite, is created when your lower teeth are too far behind your upper front teeth.
This condition may have several causes:
- Improper alignment of the back teeth
- Missing lower teeth
- An imbalance of the upper and lower jaw bones
- Upper incisors angled outward
- Thumb or finger sucking
- Tongue thrusting
- A combination of all these causes
An overjet bite can:
-
Impair proper functioning of your front teeth
Lead to premature wear on your teeth
