Understanding your child’s bite is an important part of protecting their long-term oral health.

Different bite types like overbite, underbite, open bite, deep bite, and crowding can affect how teeth wear, how the jaw develops, and how easily teeth can be cleaned. Some bite concerns are cosmetic, while others can impact speech, chewing, and comfort as children grow.

An orthodontic evaluation helps identify how a bite is developing and whether early guidance could reduce the need for more complex treatment later.
