Protruding teeth.
When front teeth sit farther forward
Protruding teeth sit or angle noticeably forward. An evaluation considers the position of the teeth alongside the relationship between the jaws.
Understanding
protruding teeth.
Some front teeth sit or angle farther forward than the surrounding teeth. The position of the teeth and the relationship between the jaws may both contribute to the appearance.
Understanding the cause matters because similar-looking smiles may call for different plans. Growth stage is also part of the discussion for children and teens.
Looking at
the whole picture.
The image above shows one patient example. Your own examination determines what is relevant to you.
- 01
Are the front teeth angled forward, or is jaw position involved?
- 02
What are the patient’s goals and concerns?
- 03
Does growth affect timing or available choices?
A question worth
bringing in.
“What is behind the forward position, and how does that shape the plan?”
