Protruded teeth correction is needed when the upper front teeth extend too far forward or the lower teeth do not extend far enough forward. Sometimes referred to as “overjet”, the upper front teeth that protrude beyond normal contact with the lower from teeth are prone to injury.

      Shenzhen oral experts pointed out that, protruding teeth indicate a poor bite of the back molar teeth and may indicate uneven jaw growth. More often than not, dental protrusion is caused by jaw position, usually a hereditary factor. Thumb and finger sucking habits can also contribute to protruded teeth.

      Treatment for this protruding teeth may include braces and other orthodontic appliances, such as spacers. Depending on the severity of the protrusion and the age of the patient, orthognathic (jaw)surgery may be required.

      The key to successful, less costly protruded teeth correction is early treatment. Protrusion, if left untreated, can cause problems in speech, poor oral hygiene, and loss of dental function.
