The Crossbow Appliance

At Ocean Orthodontics, we're excited to offer the Crossbow Orthodontic Appliance, a cutting-edge solution for correcting large overjets (colloquially called an "overbite"), and achieving optimal bite alignment.

A large overjet is when the upper front teeth are positioned too far forward over the lower front teeth. This can happen due to various factors like jaw growth issues, habits etc. By applying gentle, continuous force to the upper molars and the lower anterior teeth, the Crossbow Appliance gradually encourages proper tooth alignment and bite correction.

The Crossbow Orthodontic Appliance is ideal for patients who are seeking an effective, non-surgical treatment option. It can be used in both growing children and adolescents to guide jaw development and correct bite discrepancies. This appliance is glued to your teeth, and helps you avoid uncomfortable headgear or bulky appliances that stay on your nightstand for longer than it stays in your mouth, offering a more comfortable, efficient, and discreet orthodontic treatment experience.
