This Affinity Dental Clinics illustration displays overjet, or dental protrusion, where the upper front teeth project outward beyond the lower front teeth. Overjet is often confused with overbite but is a horizontal misalignment rather than vertical. This malocclusion can cause lip strain, difficulty closing the mouth naturally, speech issues, and increased risk of trauma to the front teeth. Treatment depends on severity and may include braces with elastics, clear aligners, growth modification in children, or surgery in adults.
