Is it possible to fix a cross bite?

Yes..: A cross bite can be fixed almost all the time. It might be fixed by braces, jaw surgery or a combination of both. Go see your dentist and they might refer you to and orthodontist and an oral surgeon to solve you problem. They will all keep in touch and work as a team to get you beautiful teeth and a solid bite.

Crossbite : A crossbite means that your one or both of your jaws are not big enough. You can get this fixed with orthodontics and or jaw surgery depending on your age and condition.

Absolutely: Things to consider are is it a front tooth or back tooth crossbite as well as the needed movements in order to do so. Having an orthodontic consultation with a proper workup will answer these questions and determine the least invasive and most effective solution for your particular situation. Good luck!

Absolutely: We Orthodontists do this treatment all day long every day. See an Orthodontic Specialist for an initial examination (usually complimentary) to discuss the treatment options applicable for resolution of your unique malocclusion. I have an office in Chalfont and would be happy to see you for an examination.

It is possible: Normally, the earlier the condition is noticed, the faster and easier it is to correct.
