<p>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.</p>


what is a crossbite?

<p>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.<sup>1</sup>&nbsp;this kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.<sup>2</sup></p>
