Open Bite Correction

Open bite is one type of malocclusion, or "bad bite." This is when the top and bottom teeth don't touch when the mouth is closed, leaving a space between the top and bottom teeth. Limiting thumb-sucking and pacifier use in children can help them avoid developing an overbite.

Open Bite Correction Treatment

An open bite is when the top and bottom teeth don’t touch at the front or back of the mouth when the jaw is fully shut, leaving a space between them.  Open bites are a form of malocclusion, or “bad bite,” a variety of dental issues that cause the teeth to align improperly, causing problems when biting down and a host of other related issues, including pain, oral hygiene issues, and tooth and gum decay.

An open bite can be hard to treat, but we will be able to fix it with different types of braces and/or clear aligner treatment. If you think your child has an open bite, call our office today to schedule an appointment so that you or your child can smile and bite properly.
