<p>When you close your mouth and some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth — rather than on the outside, like they normally would — your doctor calls this a crossbite.</p>


What is a crossbite?

<p>A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line<sup>1</sup>.&nbsp;This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss<sup>2</sup>.</p>
