Buck teeth

Buck teeth, medically known as protruded incisors, refer to a dental condition where the upper front teeth extend beyond the lower teeth, often resulting in an uneven bite. This misalignment can lead to aesthetic concerns and can affect oral function, including chewing and speech. Buck teeth can be caused by genetic factors, thumb sucking, or prolonged pacifier use in childhood. Treatment options, including braces or orthodontic devices, can help correct the alignment and enhance overall dental health.
