overlapping teeth

Teeth pushing together

Overlapping teeth are teeth that don't align properly in the jaw, with one or more teeth positioned partially in front of or behind adjacent teeth.

The condition is common and ranges from barely noticeable to severe crowding.

Orthodontists correct overlapping teeth with braces or aligners: She got Invisalign to fix her overlapping front teeth.
