Learn About The Problem of Crossbite

A crossbite occurs when your upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth when you bite down, rather than overlapping them naturally. This misalignment can affect just one tooth or several teeth. It creates an uneven bite that puts strain on your jaw muscles and teeth.



Crossbites develop in different ways. Sometimes your upper jaw is too narrow. Other times individual teeth grow in the wrong position. The condition can affect your front teeth or back teeth, each creating distinct problems for your oral health.



You might notice several signs of a crossbite. Your teeth don't line up properly when you close your mouth. Chewing feels awkward or uncomfortable. Some people experience jaw pain or clicking sounds. Your face might appear uneven or asymmetrical.



Early treatment works best for crossbites. Children's jaws are still growing, making correction easier and faster. Adults can still receive successful treatment, though it may take longer. Untreated crossbites can cause tooth wear, gum problems, and jaw joint issues over time.



At London Dental Specialists, Dr. Kia Papagalani brings specialist orthodontic expertise to crossbite correction. Our team uses modern techniques to realign your bite and restore proper tooth positioning. We serve patients throughout Central London and the greater London area with personalised treatment plans.



Don't let a crossbite affect your oral health and confidence. Contact London Dental Specialists today to discuss how our orthodontic specialists can help correct your bite and improve your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions



What exactly is a crossbite and how do I know if I have one?


A crossbite occurs when your upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth when you bite down, rather than overlapping them naturally. This can happen with just one tooth or several teeth. You might notice that when you close your mouth, some of your top teeth don't line up properly with your bottom ones. Some people experience jaw discomfort or notice their bite feels \"off\" when chewing. Others might see visible misalignment when they smile. If you're unsure, our specialists can quickly identify a crossbite during a comprehensive examination using advanced imaging techniques.



Can a crossbite cause serious problems if left untreated?


Yes, crossbites can lead to several complications over time. Your teeth may wear unevenly, creating chips or excessive grinding. Jaw muscles can become strained, potentially causing headaches or jaw pain. Some patients develop clicking or popping sounds in their jaw joints. The misalignment can also make certain teeth harder to clean properly, increasing your risk of gum disease and tooth decay. In children, untreated crossbites may affect facial development and growth patterns. The good news is that these problems are entirely preventable with proper treatment.



At what age should a crossbite be treated?


Early intervention often produces the best results. For children, we typically recommend evaluation around age 7 when permanent teeth begin emerging. Young jaws are still growing and more responsive to treatment. However, crossbites can be successfully corrected at any age. Adult treatment may take longer and sometimes requires different approaches, but modern orthodontic techniques make correction possible throughout life. Our specialists will assess your specific situation and recommend the optimal timing for your treatment plan.



What treatment options are available for correcting a crossbite?


Treatment depends on the type and severity of your crossbite. For children, we might use palatal expanders to gently widen the upper jaw. Traditional braces work excellently for most crossbite cases. Clear aligners can be effective for certain types of crossbites, especially in adults who prefer a more discreet option. Some complex cases may benefit from a combination of orthodontic treatment and minor surgical procedures. During your consultation, we'll explain which options suit your particular needs and lifestyle preferences.



How long does crossbite treatment typically take?


Treatment duration varies based on several factors. Simple crossbites involving one or two teeth might be corrected in 6 to 12 months. More complex cases involving multiple teeth or jaw alignment issues typically require 18 to 24 months. Children often respond faster than adults due to their growing jaws. Your age, the severity of the crossbite, and your chosen treatment method all influence the timeline. We'll provide you with a realistic timeframe during your initial consultation and keep you updated on progress throughout treatment.



Will crossbite treatment be painful or uncomfortable?


Modern orthodontic treatment is far more comfortable than many people expect. You might experience mild discomfort for a few days after getting braces or starting aligner treatment. This feels similar to pressure rather than sharp pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers usually provide adequate relief during adjustment periods. Most patients adapt quickly and find any initial discomfort well worth the long-term benefits. Our team provides detailed guidance on managing any temporary discomfort and is always available to address your concerns.



How much does crossbite treatment cost and what financing options are available?


Treatment costs vary depending on the complexity of your case and chosen treatment method. Simple cases typically cost less than complex ones requiring longer treatment times. We offer flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible, including interest-free financing options for qualifying patients. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for orthodontic treatment. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment estimate and discuss all available financing options. Our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile without financial stress.

Emergency Crossbite Care Available



Whilst crossbite itself rarely constitutes a dental emergency, certain complications may require immediate attention at London Dental Specialists. Seek urgent care if you experience severe jaw pain that prevents normal function. Contact us immediately if teeth become loose or damaged due to abnormal bite pressure. Sharp, persistent pain when chewing warrants prompt evaluation. Sudden changes in your bite pattern need professional assessment.



Difficulty opening or closing your mouth properly requires urgent attention. Swelling around the jaw joints indicates potential complications. If existing dental work becomes damaged due to crossbite pressure, seek immediate care. Children experiencing significant discomfort or refusing to eat should be seen promptly.



For crossbite emergencies, call London Dental Specialists immediately on 020 7589 7792 during our operating hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:30pm). Outside normal hours, leave a detailed message describing your symptoms, and our team will respond as quickly as possible. We prioritise emergency cases and will arrange urgent appointments when clinically necessary.



Our Central London location serves all areas of Greater London and surrounding regions. Dr. Ope Sodeinde and our specialist team understand that dental emergencies cause significant distress. We're equipped to provide immediate pain relief and stabilise your condition whilst planning comprehensive crossbite correction. Don't hesitate to contact us if you're experiencing concerning symptoms - early intervention often prevents more complex problems developing.

Related Dental Problems We Treat


  • Overbite - Another common bite misalignment where upper teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively, often treated alongside crossbite correction for comprehensive orthodontic results


  • Underbite - A bite problem where lower teeth protrude beyond upper teeth, frequently occurring with crossbite and requiring similar specialist orthodontic intervention


  • Crowded Teeth - Overlapping or twisted teeth that often contribute to bite problems like crossbite, as insufficient space prevents proper tooth alignment and jaw positioning


  • Gaps Between Teeth - Spacing issues that can develop alongside crossbite, particularly when teeth shift due to uneven bite forces and jaw misalignment over time


  • TMJ Disorders - Jaw joint problems that frequently result from untreated crossbite, as uneven bite pressure strains the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles


  • Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) - Unconscious clenching or grinding often caused by bite misalignment like crossbite, leading to worn teeth and jaw discomfort that requires coordinated treatment


  • Gum Disease - Inflammation and infection of gums that can worsen with crossbite, as misaligned teeth create difficult-to-clean areas where bacteria accumulate and thrive


  • Tooth Wear - Gradual wearing down of tooth surfaces commonly seen with crossbite, as abnormal bite forces cause uneven pressure and premature deterioration of tooth enamel
