Crossbite Treatment in West Hills

Crossbite treatment in West Hills corrects a bite where some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside them. A crossbite can affect the front or the back teeth, and left untreated it may cause uneven tooth wear, gum problems, and jaw strain.

Types of crossbite

• Anterior crossbite: upper front teeth bite behind the lower front teeth.
• Posterior crossbite: upper back teeth sit inside the lower back teeth, sometimes on one side.

How we correct a crossbite

Treatment depends on the cause. In children, an expander can widen a narrow upper jaw at the ideal age. In teens and adults, braces or Invisalign reposition the teeth into a healthy bite. Catching a crossbite early often makes treatment simpler.

Why it matters

Correcting a crossbite protects your enamel from uneven wear, supports healthier gums, and can relieve strain on your jaw. At your free consultation we will pinpoint the type and recommend the most effective option.
