What’s an end-to-end bite?
There are different types of end-to-end bite, also known as an edge-to-edge bite. In a typical end-to-end bite, the front teeth and the cusps of the molars in the upper and lower jaw directly bite against each other. If your bite is perfect, the cusps interlock perfectly with a slight overlap of the upper teeth.
This is not the case for patients with an end-to-end bite, which is a type of cross bite.
