Medical Conditions - Crossbite

Crossbite is a dental condition that affects the alignment of the teeth. The upper teeth fit behind the lower teeth when your mouth remains closed. It is fixed by using braces, palatal expanders, headgears, tooth removal, and surgery. Untreated crossbite causes jaw pain and jaw problems.
