Protrusion is a condition that often occurs when the upper front teeth are further forward than normal compared to the lower teeth. The protrusion may be simple, affecting only the shape of the smile, or obvious, affecting lip closure, speech, chewing, protecting teeth from injury, and occlusal balance.
At AHLI Specialists Medical Center in Al Shamkha - Abu Dhabi, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of cases of tooth eruption in children, adolescents and adults, determining whether the problem is in the teeth only or in the relationship of the jaws, then choosing the appropriate plan such as metal braces, ceramic braces, clear braces, growth devices for children, treatment of oral habits, or advanced orthodontic plans depending on the case. We serve clients from Al Shamkha, Baniyas, Al Falah, Al Shawamekh, Shakhbout, Mohammed bin Zayed City, Khalifa City, Al Bahia, Al Raha, and various areas of Abu Dhabi.
What is tooth protrusion?
Eruption of teeth is when the front teeth, often the upper teeth, move forward more than normal. In orthodontics, the term Overjet is used to describe the excessive horizontal distance between the upper and lower front teeth. Normally, the upper front teeth are slightly ahead of the lower teeth. In the case of protrusion, this distance is greater than normal, which makes the front teeth appear advanced or “moving forward.”
Teeth protrusion is not always only a cosmetic problem, so the occlusion and jaws must be evaluated before choosing a treatment.
What is the difference between tooth protrusion and jaw protrusion?
Not every protrusion in a smile is caused by teeth alone. Sometimes the teeth themselves are tilted forward, and sometimes the problem is in the relationship of the upper and lower jaw. Because the treatment of dental protrusion may often be done with orthodontics, while severe skeletal cases may require growth devices in children or an orthodontic and surgical plan in some adults.
Dental protrusion
It occurs when the front teeth are tilted or advanced forward, even though the jaw bones may be relatively tolerant.
Protrusion or retraction of the jaws
Protrusion may appear because the upper jaw is advanced, because the lower jaw is retracted, or because of an unbalanced relationship between the jaws.
It is not enough to look at the teeth from the outside; The jaw, occlusion, and face should be evaluated.
Is tooth protrusion only a cosmetic problem?
no. Teeth eruption may affect appearance and confidence, but it may also affect function and oral health.
- ● Difficulty closing the lips
- ● Increased exposure of the front teeth to trauma
- ● Difficulty biting some foods
- ● Occlusal imbalance
- ● Corrosion or abnormal pressure
- ● Dry mouth or lips in some patients
- ● Difficulty in cleaning teeth if accompanied by crowding
- ● Impact on pronunciation in some cases
- ● Impact on the shape of the profile and smile
- ● Difficulty in obtaining a cosmetic result with veneers without occlusal treatment
- ● The problem returns if the result is not confirmed after the evaluation
Treating erupted teeth does not only aim to make the smile more beautiful, but also to improve the relationship of the teeth, lips and jaws.
Signs of tooth eruption
- ● The upper front teeth are advanced forward
- ● Difficulty closing the lips comfortably
- ● Clear prominence in side images
- ● An unbalanced smile due to aging teeth
- ● Horizontal space between the upper and lower teeth
- ● The front teeth are easily injured
- ● Difficulty biting some foods
- ● Dry lips or mouth due to the lips not closing well
- ● Habit of thumb sucking or tongue thrusting in children
- ● Wear or unbalanced pressure on the teeth
- ● Protrusion with crowding of teeth
- ● Prominence with gaps between the teeth
- ● Uncomfortable bite due to advanced front teeth
- ● Prominence returns after previous braces
- ● Dissatisfaction with the shape of the smile or facial profile
If you notice these signs, an orthodontic examination helps determine the cause and appropriate treatment options.
Causes of tooth eruption
Genetics
A person may inherit the shape of the jaw, the tilt of the teeth, or the relationship of the jaws from the family, making tooth eruption more likely.
Lower jaw retracted
Sometimes the upper teeth appear to protrude because the lower jaw is relatively recessed, rather than because the upper teeth alone are advanced.
Advancement of the upper jaw or upper teeth
The maxilla or upper teeth may be advanced forward compared to the lower jaw.
Finger sucking
Prolonged finger sucking in children may push the upper front teeth forward and affect bite.
Using a pacifier for a long time
Continuing the pacifier for a long time may contribute to the eruption of teeth or a change in the shape of the occlusion in some children.
Tongue thrust
Pushing the tongue against the front teeth while swallowing or speaking may contribute to teeth erupting or opening gaps.
Mouth breathing
Continuous mouth breathing in children may be associated with improper position of the lips, tongue, and jaw, and may contribute to occlusal problems.
Teeth crowding
When there is not enough space, some teeth may push forward or curl out of line.
Spaces between teeth
Gaps or differences in tooth size may make the front teeth appear more prominent.
Tooth loss
Loss of some teeth may lead to tooth movement and change in occlusion, and may contribute to the protrusion or tilt of some teeth.
Failure to adhere to the retainer after orthodontics
After the braces are finished, the teeth may return to an undesirable position if the patient does not adhere to the retainer, and the protrusion may appear again.
Knowing the cause is the basis for choosing the right treatment.
Tooth eruption treatment options
Treatment for tooth eruption varies depending on the cause, severity, age, and health of the teeth and gums.
Metal braces to treat erupted teeth
Metal braces are an effective option for treating tooth protrusion, especially in moderate to severe cases or cases that require precise control of tooth movement and occlusion.
- ● Clear protrusion of the front teeth
- ● Crowding with the protrusion
- ● Orthodontic elastics needed
- ● A condition that requires orthodontic extraction
- ● Protrusion with a deep or open bite
- ● A teenager or adult who needs comprehensive treatment
- ● A condition in which clear braces alone are not suitable
Metal braces are more visible, but give good control of tooth movement.
Clear braces to treat erupted teeth
Clear braces may be suitable for some cases of tooth protrusion, especially if the protrusion is simple or moderate and the patient is committed to wearing trays. But it is not suitable for all protrusion cases, especially severe skeletal cases or those that require complex dislocations and movements.
- ● Slight or moderate protrusion
- ● Desire for less visible treatment
- ● Commitment to wearing the casts for sufficient hours daily
- ● Teeth and gums in good condition
- ● A condition that can be treated with predictable tooth movement
- ● Desire to remove molds when eating and cleaning
It may not be appropriate if the protrusion is severe, the lower jaw is severely recessed, or the condition requires complex orthodontic control.
Ceramic braces to treat erupted teeth
Ceramic braces work in a similar way to metal braces, but are less noticeable because the brackets are a color similar to the teeth. It may be suitable for patients who want fixed braces with a calmer appearance.
- ● A permanent treatment for erupting teeth
- ● Less visible than metallic appearance
- ● Good control of tooth movement
- ● Suitable treatment for adults or adolescents
- ● An option for cases where clear braces alone are not suitable
Ceramic braces need good hygiene care to avoid pigmentation and gingivitis.
Orthodontics to treat tooth protrusion
Orthodontics is the primary service for correcting tooth protrusion and associated occlusal problems.
- ● Gradually reduce the protrusion of the front teeth
- ● Improving the relationship of the upper and lower teeth
- ● Correcting crowding or accompanying voids
- ● Use growth devices or elastics as needed
The type of braces is chosen after a comprehensive evaluation of the cause and severity of the protrusion.
The choice of treatment depends not only on the shape of the teeth, but also on the cause of the eruption and the relationship of the jaws.
The difference between types of occlusal problems
Tooth protrusion vs deep bite
It is to increase the horizontal distance between the upper and lower teeth, so that the upper teeth appear to move forward.
It is an increase in the vertical coverage of the upper teeth over the lower teeth, so that the upper teeth cover a large portion of the lower teeth when the mouth is closed.
Teeth protrusion is a problem in the front and back directions, while a deep bite is a problem in the amount of coverage of the teeth from top to bottom. The two may occur in the same patient, and here the case requires a more precise orthodontic plan. See deep bite treatment
Dental protrusion vs jaw protrusion
It occurs when the front teeth are tilted or advanced forward, even though the jaw bones may be relatively tolerant.
Protrusion may appear because the upper jaw is advanced, because the lower jaw is retracted, or because of an unbalanced relationship between the jaws.
Treating edentulous teeth may often be done with orthodontics, while severe skeletal conditions may require growth appliances in children or an orthodontic and surgical plan in some adults.
How is tooth eruption diagnosed?
Examination of the front teeth
We measure the amount of protrusion and the distance between the upper and lower teeth.
Occlusal examination
We evaluate the relationship of the back and front teeth, and whether there is a deep bite, open bite, or crowding.
Examination of the lips and face
We observe whether the patient can close the lips comfortably, and whether the protrusion affects the shape of the side face.
Examination of oral habits
Ask about thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, grinding, or other habits.
Pictures and x-rays
We may need pictures and x-rays to evaluate the roots, jaws, and the relationship of the upper and lower jaw.
Scans or prints
Helps analyze tooth arrangement, spaces, and treatment plan.
Determine the type of protrusion
We determine whether the eruption is dental, skeletal, or joint.
Develop a treatment plan
After diagnosis, the appropriate braces, appliances or plan is selected depending on the age, cause and severity.
Steps to treat erupted teeth
Consultation and evaluation
The doctor begins by examining the teeth, teeth, lips, and face, and finding out the patient's complaint about form or function.
Determine the cause of protrusion
It is determined whether the protrusion is due to teeth, jaws, oral habits, crowding, spaces, or more than one reason.
Pictures and x-rays
We may need pictures, x-rays, and dental scans to evaluate the relationship of the jaws, roots, and spaces.
Examination of gums and teeth
You must ensure that there are no cavities, gingivitis, or problems that require treatment before braces.
Choose a treatment plan
Metal, ceramic, clear braces, growth appliances, or another plan is chosen depending on the case.
Start treatment
Tooth movement begins gradually to reduce protrusion and improve occlusion.
Periodic follow-up
Treatment progress is reviewed, braces or trays are adjusted, and the health of the gums and teeth is monitored.
Termination of treatment
After achieving a suitable arrangement and optimal occlusion, the braces or casts are finished.
Stabilizer after treatment
A fixator is necessary to maintain the result and prevent recurrence or crowding.
Is treatment for erupted teeth painful?
Treating erupted teeth with braces is not permanently painful, but it may cause temporary pressure or discomfort after braces are placed, after adjustments, or when the clear trays are changed.
- ● Pressure on teeth
- ● Slight difficulty eating on the first days of treatment
- ● Friction from brackets
- ● Discomfort when using elastics
- ● Tighten when changing molds
- ● Needs time to get used to the movement of the teeth
These symptoms are often temporary, and if the pain is severe or persistent, you should see a doctor.
Do teeth erupt again after braces?
Tooth eruption or part of the problem may return if the patient does not adhere to the retainer or if the causing habits such as tongue thrusting or thumb sucking in children continue. Therefore, the installer and follow-up after treatment are an essential part of the success of the plan.
- ● Do not use a stabilizer
- ● Broken or lost stabilizer
- ● Continued tongue thrusting
- ● Persistent oral habits
- ● Incomplete treatment
- ● Failure to adhere to rubber bands or molds
- ● Continuous growth of the jaw in some teenagers
- ● Strong structural problem
- ● Grinding or clenching of teeth
If the retainer is lost or broken, see a doctor quickly.
Important topics in the treatment of erupted teeth
Teeth eruption in children
Teeth eruption in children deserves early evaluation, because the child is in a developmental stage, and there may be an opportunity to direct the growth of the jaws or stop the habits causing the problem before it becomes more apparent.
- ● The upper front teeth protrude forward
- ● Difficulty closing the lips
- ● Thumb sucking
- ● Using the pacifier for a long time
- ● Pushing the tongue forward
- ● Mouth breathing
- ● Front teeth are more susceptible to fracture or trauma
- ● Protrusion with an open bite
- ● Protrusion with crowding or voids
- ● The lower jaw appears retracted
Early evaluation does not always mean installing full braces, but it helps determine whether the child needs follow-up, stopping a habit, a growth device, temporary braces, or waiting for an appropriate time for treatment. Check out the service
When should a child's teeth be examined?
It is best to book an evaluation for the child if the protrusion is clear, especially if it is accompanied by oral habits, difficulty closing the lips, or tooth trauma.
- ● Eruption of the upper front teeth
- ● Thumb sucking at an early age
- ● Use a pacifier for a long time
- ● Tongue thrust
- ● Mouth breathing
- ● Difficulty biting food
- ● Protrusion with an open bite
- ● Obvious recession of the lower jaw
- ● Crowded teeth
- ● Gaps between teeth
- ● Fracture or injury to the front teeth
- ● Family history of protrusion or jaw problems
The earlier the condition is evaluated, the clearer the treatment or follow-up options are. Check out the service
Teeth eruption in adults
Eruption of teeth in adults can be treated in many cases, but treatment requires careful evaluation of the teeth, gums, bone, and jaws. Orthodontic treatment may be available only if the problem is dental, and may require a combined plan if the protrusion is related to the jaw, wear or missing teeth.
- ● Is the protrusion caused by the teeth or the jaws?
- Is the bottom jaw retreating?
- ● Are there crowding or gaps?
- ● Are there gum diseases?
- ● Are there fillings, crowns or veneers?
- ● Are there any implants or missing teeth?
- ● Is there squeaking or wear?
- ● Has the patient ever had braces?
- ● Does the treatment require orthodontic extraction?
- ● Are clear braces suitable or do we need fixed braces?
Age alone is not a contraindication for treatment, but gum and bone health are very important before braces.
Eruption of upper front teeth
Eruption of the upper front teeth is one of the most disturbing conditions for patients in terms of appearance and smile. The upper teeth may be tilted forward or advanced due to the jaw relationship or oral habits.
- ● The appearance of prominent front teeth
- ● Difficulty closing the lips
- ● Increased risk of fractured front teeth
- ● Dissatisfaction with the smile
- ● Difficulty biting food
- ● Dry lips sometimes
- ● Impact on pronunciation in some cases
- ● Uncomfortable pressure between the front teeth
- ● A desire to get braces or veneers without knowing the reason
Treatment depends on the degree of prominence and the cause, and may be with metal, ceramic, or clear braces, or a more comprehensive plan.
Eruption of teeth with retraction of the lower jaw
In some cases, the problem is not just the upper teeth, but the lower jaw is receding, making the upper teeth appear more prominent. These cases require an evaluation of the relationship of the jaws, not just the teeth.
- ● The chin appears sagging
- ● The upper teeth are clearly in front of the lower teeth
- ● Difficulty closing the lips
- ● Protrusion of the upper lip
- ● Deep bite or horizontal protrusion
- ● Unbalanced profile
In growing children, there may be options to guide growth depending on the condition. In adults, orthodontic treatment alone may be possible in some cases, while more severe skeletal cases require advanced evaluation.
Teeth protrusion and finger sucking
Prolonged thumb sucking may cause the upper front teeth to protrude and may contribute to an open bite. The longer a habit persists, the more likely it is to affect your teeth and jaw.
- ● Eruption of upper teeth
- ● Open bite
- ● Tightness in the upper jaw
- ● Change in the position of the tongue
- ● Difficulty closing the front teeth
- ● Gaps between teeth
- ● Increased risk of injury to the front teeth
Stopping the habit early may help reduce its impact, but if there is a visible change in the teeth, the child may need an orthodontic evaluation.
Teeth protrusion and tongue thrust
Pushing the tongue against the front teeth while swallowing or speaking may contribute to the protrusion of the teeth, the opening of gaps, or the problem returning after braces.
- ● The tongue appears between the teeth when speaking or swallowing
- ● Gaps between the front teeth
- ● Open bite
- ● Eruption of front teeth
- ● Difficulty pronouncing some letters
- ● The return of gaps or protrusions after previous correction
In these cases, braces alone may not be enough if the tongue habit is not treated. The patient may need functional training or speech therapy depending on the evaluation.
Teeth eruption and mouth breathing
Mouth breathing in children may be associated with improper position of the lips and tongue, and may affect jaw and occlusal development in some cases. If a child is constantly mouth breathing, the cause should be evaluated.
- ● Mouth open most of the time
- ● Snoring or restless sleep
- ● Dry lips
- ● Difficulty closing the mouth
- ● Eruption of teeth
- ● Narrow upper jaw
- ● Open bite or anterior protrusion
- ● Breathe through the mouth instead of the nose
The child may need additional medical evaluation of the nose, tonsils, or breathing, along with dental and orthodontic evaluation.
Teeth eruption and the risk of injuries
Protruding front teeth are sometimes more vulnerable to injury, especially in children and athletes, because they are advanced and not adequately protected by the lips.
- ● Fractured front teeth
- ● Lip injury
- ● Teeth movement after trauma
- ● Pain or inflammation after a blow
- ● The need for root canal or reconstructive treatment after injury
- ● Psychological impact due to a broken front tooth
If a child has visible tooth protrusion, an orthodontic evaluation may be important, and the doctor may recommend a mouthguard for sports in some cases.
Teeth eruption and speech
Teeth protrusion may affect speech in some people, especially if it is accompanied by tongue thrust, an open bite, or difficulty closing the lips. Not every prominence causes a speech problem, but evaluation is important if there is a clear observation.
- ● Difficulty pronouncing some letters
- ● Air coming out while speaking
- ● Place the tongue between the teeth
- ● Pushing the tongue forward
- ● Extreme prominence
- ● Associated open bite
- ● A child’s speech problem with clear prominence
In some cases, collaboration between orthotics and speech therapy may be helpful.
Teeth eruption and chewing
Teeth protrusion may affect biting and chewing, especially if the front teeth do not meet properly. The patient may find it difficult to cut food with the front teeth or feel that the bite is unbalanced.
- ● Difficulty biting food
- ● Excess pressure on the back teeth
- ● Occlusal imbalance
- ● Erosion in some teeth
- ● Pain or sensitivity when biting
- ● Difficulty closing the mouth comfortably
- ● Uncomfortable chewing
Treating protrusion may help improve the relationship of the teeth, not just the appearance of the smile.
Teeth eruption with crowding
Teeth protrusion may appear with crowding in the front or back teeth. In this case, treatment requires arranging the teeth, saving space and improving occlusion.
- ● Orthodontics for crowded teeth
- ● Move the front teeth to a better position
- ● Assess the need for a slight filing between the teeth
- ● Evaluate the need for orthodontic extraction in severe cases
- ● Gum treatment and cleaning before braces
- ● Use stabilizer after treatment
In these cases, treatment may need to correct the protrusion and align the teeth together. Check out the service
Eruption of teeth with gaps
Protrusion may appear with gaps between the teeth, especially if there is a pushing tongue, smallness of some teeth, or a forward tilt. In this case, the cause of the void and protrusion must be treated together.
- ● Orthodontics to return teeth to a better position
- ● Gradually closing gaps
- ● Tongue thrust treatment if present
- ● Cosmetic fillings or veneers after braces if the teeth are small
- ● Sticky to keep score
It is necessary to know whether the gaps are caused by the position of the teeth only, or whether the protrusion is part of the problem. Check out the service
Teeth eruption with an open bite
Teeth protrusion may be associated with an open bite, especially in children who have a habit of thumb sucking or tongue thrusting. Here, it is not enough to treat the eruption alone, but the misalignment of the teeth must also be treated.
- ● Stop the habit of sucking a finger or a pacifier
- ● Tongue thrust treatment
- ● Orthodontics to restore teeth
- ● Open bite closure
- ● Assess the need for devices for children
- ● Installed after treatment
Treatment requires a comprehensive plan to treat both prominence and non-contact. Check out the service
Growth devices to treat tooth eruption in children
In some cases of children and adolescents, if protrusion is associated with lower jaw recession or an unbalanced growth relationship, certain orthoses may help guide growth depending on the child's age and developmental stage.
- ● Functional devices in selected cases
- ● Interim orthodontic treatment
- ● Directing the growth of the lower or upper jaw according to the diagnosis
- ● Treating oral habits
- ● Follow growth
- ● A comprehensive evaluation later when needed
- ● Orthodontic elastics at a certain stage
These devices are not suitable for all children, and require appropriate timing and good cooperation from the child and parents.
Is it possible to treat erupted teeth without extraction?
Yes, many cases of tooth protrusion can be treated without extraction, especially if the protrusion is simple or moderate or if space can be saved in other ways.
- ● Move the teeth gradually
- ● Adjusting the inclination of teeth
- ● Widening the dental arch in appropriate cases
- ● Minor filing between the teeth in specific cases
- ● Use orthodontic elastics
- ● Developmental systems in children
- ● Transparent or fixed braces, depending on the case
However, in some cases of severe protrusion or significant crowding, orthodontic extraction may be an appropriate option to achieve a better and more stable result.
When do we need to extract teeth to treat protrusion?
Extraction in the treatment of protruding teeth is not done randomly, but is only considered if there is a significant lack of space or a clear protrusion that cannot be corrected well without providing sufficient space.
- ● Extreme protrusion of teeth
- ● Obvious crowding
- ● Difficulty closing the lips
- ● A need to move the front teeth back
- ● Prominence with affected profile
- ● Insufficient space without removal
- ● A condition that is not suitable for dilatation or simple cold
- ● Desire for a stable and balanced result
The decision to have an extraction requires pictures, x-rays, orthodontic analysis, and a clear explanation to the patient before starting.
When does erupted teeth require jaw surgery?
Some cases of tooth eruption in adults are actually a skeletal problem due to the lower jaw receding or the upper jaw being significantly advanced. In severe cases, braces alone may not be enough to correct the jaw relationship.
- ● A big difference between the upper and lower jaw
- ● Obvious recession of the lower jaw
- ● Severe protrusion affecting form and function
- ● Great difficulty closing the lips
- ● Structural problem after growth is complete
- ● Failure or return of previous treatment
- ● A need to correct the relationship of the jaws, not just the teeth
Surgery is not required for all cases, but may be part of the plan in severe skeletal cases.
Does veneer treat tooth eruption?
Veneers do not treat true tooth eruption, because they do not move the teeth or change the relationship of the jaws. It may improve the shape and color of teeth in some very simple cases, but it may not be suitable if the teeth are prominent or the bite is unbalanced.
- ● Teeth that appear larger or more prominent
- ● The need for significant filing of the teeth
- ● Broken veneer due to occlusion
- ● Unnatural cosmetic result
- ● Continued difficulty closing the lips
- ● Failure to treat the underlying cause
If you have a protrusion and are considering veneers, you should have braces evaluated first. Check out the service
Treating erupted teeth before smile design
If you want veneers or a Hollywood smile and have protruding teeth, braces may be the first step. Correcting the prominence before cosmetic surgery may make the result more beautiful and natural and protect the teeth from excessive cold.
- ● Reducing tooth protrusion
- ● Improve lip closure
- ● Reducing the need to file teeth
- ● Improved occlusion
- ● Make veneers more natural
- ● Reduce the possibility of fracture of restorations
- ● Improving the shape of the smile and profile
Successful cosmetic surgery begins with the correct position of the teeth, not just with color and shape.
Teeth cleaning during tooth eruption treatment
Cleaning your teeth during braces is very important, especially if your treatment is with fixed braces. Plaque buildup around the brackets may lead to white spots, gingivitis, or cavities.
- ● Brush your teeth after meals
- ● Use an orthodontic brush when there are brackets
- ● Use floss or braces cleaning tools
- ● Clean the clear molds daily if you use them
- ● Reduce sugar and sweetened drinks
- ● Visit the clinic for regular cleaning
- ● Do not neglect bleeding gums
- ● Follow the instructions for the rubbers and molds
- ● Watch for any white spots around the brackets
Healthy teeth and gums are important for the success of orthodontic treatment. Check out the service
Common errors in treating erupted teeth
Some errors may affect the outcome of treatment.
- ● Treating the shape with veneers without evaluating the occlusion
- ● Ignoring the real cause of protrusion
- ● Delaying the child’s assessment despite the presence of a clear prominence
- ● The habit of thumb sucking or tongue thrusting is not treated
- ● Do not use a retainer after braces
- ● Choose clear braces even though the condition does not suit him
- ● Failure to wear molds or elastics
- ● Ignore gum health before braces
- ● Neglecting to brush your teeth during treatment
- ● Refusal to take off even though it is needed in specific cases
- ● Comparing the situation with the situation of another person
- ● Expect an immediate result in a case that requires time and planning
Proper treatment begins with a clear diagnosis and a realistic plan.
