Dental protrusion or overjet is related to habits like thumb sucking nail biting or a tongue thrust

Cosmetic braces
Cosmetic fixed orthodontics was needed to properly moved these teeth sideways. Note the orthodontics wire and the brackets glued on the teeth are tooth-colored.

Overjet is the horizontal measure of how much the upper teeth project forward relative to the lower teeth. The first photo shows the patient’s natural teeth bite – occlusion and the natural dental protrusion or labial flare of the anterior teeth. The second bite shows how she would like to look. Orthodontics dental braces or cosmetic dentistry can achieve this. It is better for a patient to find one office that offers both services so the treatment being offered is biased towards the services that can be provided.

This patient presented with her upper left central incisor flared labially. Labial flare or buck teeth are particularly common in black females and is frequently associated with a tongue thrust while swallowing. This tongue thrust can be easily seen by using the fingers to separate the lips while swallowing and observing where the tongue goes. Most people place their tongue unconsciously on the roof of the mouth while swallowing but a person with a tongue thrust will place their tongue against their teeth. Pictures. 1) Front photo view. 2) Side photo view. 3) Occlusal view. 4) Radiograph x-ray. The patient, who was in her twenties, was informed about the severe periodontal gum disease condition around her front tooth – note severe jaw bone loss – and that the prognosis for this tooth was poor. A thorough Periodontist examination was recommended. Teeth braces orthodontics is contra-indicated – not recommended – here because of the severe periodontal problem. Treatment could include: scaling and root planing, open flap periodontal debridement gum surgery if necessary, root canal therapy and a dental crown – for aesthetics – and possibly a teeth splint. Other treatment options could include: scaling and root planing and incisal adjustment with a dental splint. I personally would not rush to extract this tooth though the patient needs to be aware of this possibility.
