Overview of the most commonmalocclusions At the Eltz Institut, we treat all types of malocclusion: from a small gap between the teeth that is an aesthetic concern to the most severe problems that also affect our patients' health, we cover the entire spectrum of modern orthodontics. And the best part: we (almost) always manage it invisibly and in record time. Crowding With crowding, the teeth overlap and interlock. In some cases, the misalignment is so pronounced that teeth stand almost one behind the other. learn more Gaps between the teeth Gaps between the teeth often have a considerable impact on your appearance and your smile. learn more Open bite With an open bite, the front teeth of the upper and lower jaw do not touch each other, even when you bite together. learn more Protrusion When the front teeth “tip out” forwards, this is known as protrusion. It is often associated with inflammation of the gums. learn more Crossbite With a lateral crossbite, the lower back teeth bite over the upper back teeth. learn more Overjet (Class II) Here the lower jaw sits too far back, creating a gap between the upper and lower incisors. learn more Underbite (Class III) With an underbite, the lower jaw bites too far in front of the upper jaw. In some cases, the incisors meet edge to edge. learn more Cover bite The cover bite is a special type of Class II malocclusion. Some of the upper front teeth tip backwards and others tip forwards. learn more Other malocclusions Do you have a different malocclusion? Eltz always finds a way. Book your free consultation with us!
