Protruding teeth is a condition in which teeth protrude forward, due to bone, teeth or both factors (combined bone and jaw) cause loss of aesthetics. You can intervene in this condition with orthodontic techniques or jaw surgery or a combination of both braces and surgery.
Signs to identify common cases of buck teeth:
- Upper protruding teeth: This is a condition where protruding teeth are caused by the jaw bone overgrowing, protruding a lot compared to the lower jaw, leading to an asymmetric bite, an unbalanced face and affecting the chewing function.
- Gummy buck teeth: Also known as a gummy smile. Because the gums are exposed a lot because the tooth crown is too short, it leads to a condition that is not proportional to the gums, so when you smile, the gums will be exposed and the face will be unaesthetic.
- Mandibular protrusion: Symptoms are that the lower molars lie outside the upper teeth, the chin is misaligned and the mouth cannot be closed. If left untreated, the jawbone will be affected, the bite will be misaligned, and chewing will not be good.
- Protruding teeth and receding chin: Receding chin is due to the jaw bone being too short, the chin receding inward, affecting aesthetics. Factors can be due to genetics, accidents or tooth loss.
