A member asked:
I got overbite teeth and lower teeth not align. i have now scallop tongue. is it dangerous or not? please help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dangerous, no: But malocclusion (bad bite) can make it harder to clean teeth. That, coupled with tooth malpositioned, can result in gum/bone damage and tooth loss. Why don't you see a tooth/jaw alignment specialist, an Orthodontist, for a complimentary initial examination to see what can be done to straighten your teeth.
