Teeth Sticking Out
If your front teeth look like they sit forward, it’s usually a combination of tooth position and bite relationship. Orthodontic treatment such as clear aligners or braces can often bring teeth into a more balanced position.
Signs your teeth may be protruding
What it usually means
Teeth that appear to stick out usually involve the upper front teeth sitting forward relative to the lower teeth. This can be caused by crowding, tooth angle, or bite patterns such as an overbite.
Orthodontic treatment focuses on guiding the teeth into a more balanced position while improving how the bite meets.
Common causes
Overbite: upper teeth sit too far over the lower teeth.
Crowding: lack of space pushes teeth forward.
Tooth angle: teeth gradually tip forward.
Relapse: teeth drift after previous orthodontic treatment.
