Smile With Daniel on Instagram: "🐰 WHAT ARE BUNNY TEETH? Bunny teeth (medically called "overjet") is when the upper front teeth are oversized or protrude further forward than the lower teeth - giving a bunny-like appearance! How common is it? Very! It's one of the most common orthodontic issues dentists see, especially in children. What causes bunny teeth? 👍 Prolonged thumb sucking in early childhood 👅 Tongue thrusting (pushing tongue against teeth) 🧬 Genetics (thanks Mom and Dad!) 🍼 Extend

Overjet vs bite!!! Believe it or not these get mixed up a lot! And a lot of times your orthodontist won’t correct you.. Overbite is how much your top front teeth cover your lower front teeth! A normal overbite is 1-3 mmm. Overjet is how much space is in between your from teeth from the side. 1-3 mm is normal!! #overbite #braces #crossbite #expander #overjet #orthodontist #nycorthodontist #nycdentist #dentalmemes | Dr. Sable Staller DDS, MS
