When you close your mouth and some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth — rather than on the outside, like they normally would — your provider calls this a crossbite.

What is a crossbite?

A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line.1&nbsp;this kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.2
