DEFINITION

dental misalignment where upper and lower teeth do not meet correctly, reverse bite, malocclusion

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The orthodontist recommended early treatment for the child's crossbite to prevent uneven wear on the teeth. A crossbite occurs when some of the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside them. Untreated crossbite can lead to jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and abnormal growth of the facial bones over time. She wore a special dental appliance for several months to correct the crossbite before getting braces. The dentist explained that a crossbite may affect one tooth or several teeth and should be evaluated carefully.
