Open bite: There is a space between the biting surfaces of the front teeth when the others are closed.
Displaced midline: The imaginary line that divides the upper anterior teeth does not align with that of the lower teeth.
Spacing: There are gaps between the teeth due to missing teeth or teeth that do not take up all the space.
Crowding: The teeth are too large for the space available in the jaws.
