Types of dental bite

There are several types of tooth bite depending on the position of the teeth and maxillary.

A bad bite or better called malocclusion refers to evil alignment of teeth or the way the upper and lower teeth fit together. Most people have some degree of dental malocclusion.

The ideal bite is in which the teeth of the upper arch fit perfectly with those of the lower arch. This occurs because the maxillae have had an Armon growth and the dental rash has been stable and without obstacles.

The normal ratio between upper jaw and upper jaw has a pattern known as a "scissor". When biting, the upper teeth cover the lower ones slightly, in the absence of bad dental positions.

Types of tooth bite according to tooth position

• Class I: BAR_ It is when the bad position is due to a diastema or tooth stacking. Teeth are right.n.n.
• Class II: It occurs in those patients with the most advanced upper teeth compared to the lower parts.
• Class IIIBAR_ BAR_ People who have lower teeth that are more advanced than the upper ones.

Types of Orthodontic Bite

Types of tooth bite and dental disorders

Where apart from dental malocclusion is involved the position and growth of the bone.

Prognatism.

It is the forward position of the jaw, may be due to the position of the bone or lower teeth.

Retrognatism.

It is the delayed position of the jaw and may be the position of the bone or lower teeth.

Open bite

It is when contacting the upper teeth with the lower teeth, there is an open space ahead between the two. This makes it difficult to seal the lips. The causes are: The following:

• Digital suction: Sucking your finger?
• Deglutination with lingual thrust: push the upper teeth with the tongue when swallowing.

Hyperdivergence of bone bases

Maxilar and jaw not parallel to each other.

Crossbite

It occurs when the lower teeth fall in front of the lower teeth.

Border to edge

That's when the tops of the molars touch edge with edge.

Bis a bis

It is when bite glue the edges of the upper incisors with the lower ones.

Overbite

The upper anterior teeth almost completely cover the lower teeth.

Sub-bite

The lower teeth extend forward or the upper ones position very backward.

Diasthemas or Sparring

Separations or spaces between teeth as a result of missing pieces or small teeth.

Collapse

It is a narrowing that can occur both in the jaw and jaw, which causes there is not enough space to properly house all teeth.

Detoured midline

It occurs when the imaginary line dividing the upper anterior teeth in the center does not align with that of the lower teeth.

Stitching

When teeth are too big to be accommodated in the space offered by maxillas.

Consequences of a bad dental position

• Tooth wear and fracture: The poor alignment of the dental parts causes bad contact between them, so a bad bite can cause an overload of strength when chewing in a specific sector.
• Joint pain: An alteration in the bite causes tension in the temporomandibular joint, headache and ear; pain in the maceter muscles, temporal and pterigoide.
• Fracture and wear of restorations: Having an overload of strength when chewing, the service life of restorations decreases considerably.
• C ACS and periodontal disease: The clogged teeth make brushing and tooth spinning difficult to do, so there is a build-up of foods that in the short or medium term causes caries and periodontal disease.
• Damage to the ligament: The overload of strength in one or a group of dental pieces causes greater effort of the ligament, which can cause loss of insertion and therefore loss of bone.
• Damage: Overloading one or more dental pieces continuously causes swelling Flange, which can be reversible and in more severe cases can be irreversible where you already need to treat the end of the tooth.

The good news is that for all these types of tooth bite there is a. solution with orthodonticswhich is treated early and successfully corrected.
