Answer 1

You have what is called an End-to-End bite.   Usually the top teeth overlap the bottom teeth a bit,  and yours doesn't.  There are some orthodontic procedures that can fix that,   in your upcoming appt.  with the dentist,  you'll learn what they are,  and if you want to fix it.   There is really nothing really "bad"  about your bite,  it is just not as good as it should be.   There should be more concern if you have trouble chewing,  or have discomfort,  or if your bite will worsen to an underbite,  which is where the bottom teeth are on the outside.....Like Beavis.........
