How to determine if you have protruding teeth

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
1. Observe the alignment of the teeth. Generally, in individuals with well-aligned teeth, the upper and lower teeth should fit closely together without noticeable gaps. If obvious gaps are present, it may indicate protruding teeth (overjet). 2. Assess by observing the size and shape of the teeth. Teeth affected by overjet are typically smaller and irregularly shaped, clearly differing from the surrounding teeth. 3. Visit a hospital for evaluation by a professional doctor.
