Anyone with dental knowledge/experience on here? Pics of DD attached!

I have a checkup booked for DD in a month but I'm curious about this. DD's teeth on her top set sit much further forward than her bottom set. I'm assuming this isn't normal as my other DD's meet perfectly. Will this sort itself? Has this happened because she sucks her thumb?

She's only 2. Grateful for any feedback.

She also has a lisp... not sure if this is linked or not and I know this is not uncommon in 2 year olds.

Looks like an overbite to me. I have one and I sucked my thumb as a child but can't say for sure whether it was that or genetics.

Its fine , don’t worry about it, probs is because of her thumb , but nothing you can do about it really but try and stop her sucking her thumb before adult teeth start coming, she probably will by then anyway or at least it will be limited to just bedtime.
I think most kids have a lisp at this age

With my son this righted itself when his jaws grew.

DD needed 3 years of braces at the usual age - but there were other things wrong with her jaws and teeth.

If this is still the same when she is older (around 12) they can have an overbite corrected with a brace type thing. My DC is due to have this done in the future. It's called Twinblox, I believe.

Oh phew... sounds like it's nothing too concerning then. Thanks for the replies
