An occlussion, or bite, can be simply defined as the contact between teeth. There are several types of bites that can be seen below:
-DEEP BITE
-OPEN BITE
-OVERJET
-CROSS BITE
-CROWDING
-SPACING
Having a malosccusion, or "bad bite" can lead to health problems in the long run. Malocclusions can place unecessary stress on various teeth, complicate
oral hygiene, and cause future periodontal issues which can ultimately lead to tooth loss.
