Many individuals suffer from a condition commonly known as buck teeth. Often people will seek out cosmetic dentistry to correct their buck teeth which can provide many benefits for them.

What Are Buck Teeth
Buck teeth, also known as “malocclusion” or an overbite is the misalignment of teeth, ranging from mild to severe. Many people are often unsure of the differences when it comes to an overbite vs. buck teeth, but they are largely the same thing.

See our buck teeth before and after photos to see just exactly what the correction of buck teeth can look like following our award winning dental treatment plan.
A more severe is often tended to through dental treatment, but many do choose to correct their buck teeth for cosmetic reasons. Some complications can arise though. These can include:
- Damage to other teeth
- Gum damage

Depending on the severity of your buck teeth, the manner in which you should treat them will differ.
