Just found out my daughter may be developing an underbite… feeling overwhelmed
We took my daughter for a dental X-ray because her front teeth looked slightly off.
I honestly thought it was just normal crooked teeth.
But the dentist pointed out signs of developing anterior crossbite / underbite tendencies, and mentioned that early intervention matters a lot before jaw growth progresses further.
Now I’m going down the rabbit hole of:
- mouth breathing
- tongue posture
- facial growth
- early orthodontics
As a parent, this feels overwhelming because you don’t know if you’re overreacting or already late.
Did anyone here go through early treatment with their child?
What actually helped?
