Prevent Tooth Overgrowth & Bite Issues
Have you noticed a tooth growing out of place or extending beyond its normal position? This condition, known as supraeruption, occurs when a tooth moves out of alignment due to missing opposing teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to bite problems, jaw pain, and damage to surrounding teeth. At Van Orman Dental, we specialize in correcting supraeruption to restore proper dental function and protect your smile.
What Is Supraeruption?
Supraeruption happens when a tooth continues to grow out of the gums due to a lack of natural resistance. This typically occurs when a tooth has no opposing counterpart to keep it in place.
Causes of Supraeruption
Missing Opposing Teeth – When a tooth is missing, the tooth opposite to it may start to move downward (upper teeth) or upward (lower teeth). Tooth Loss Without Replacement – Failing to replace missing teeth can lead to shifting and overgrowth. Untreated Misalignment – Crooked teeth and bite issues may contribute to supraeruption. Periodontal (Gum) Disease – Weak gum support can cause teeth to shift or over-erupt. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) – Excessive grinding may trigger abnormal tooth movement.
Symptoms of Supraeruption
- Tooth appears longer or out of position compared to others.
- Difficulty biting or chewing due to misalignment.
- Gum irritation or sensitivity around the affected tooth.
- Jaw pain or discomfort caused by bite imbalance.
- Increased risk of tooth fractures or wear due to improper contact with other teeth.
