What is an open bite?
An open bite is a malocclusion (bad bite) where the top and bottom set of teeth slant outwards without touching, even when you close your jaw. In this situation, it appears as if the mouth is always open.
Why is an open bite treatment recommended?
The reason for an open bite treatment goes beyond aesthetics and getting that perfect smile. Open bite treatment helps improve overall oral health by aligning your teeth and ensuring a better bite.
If treated early, it offsets the chances of dental surgery and resolves issues like lisps, increased wear and tear of the teeth, and other speech impediments and helps you get rid of self- consciousness.
An open bite adversely affects the body
Improper speech
An open bite may interfere with pronunciation, and speech causing people to develop a lisp.

Jaw pain or temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD)
An improper bite disturbs the jaw joints and adjoining ligaments and muscles

Other teeth problems
Crowded teeth
The jaw isn’t large enough to fit all the teeth leading to crowding, plaque build-up, tooth decay, and gum disease.
Teeth Gap
This condition arises when there is unusual space between teeth causing food to get stuck in the spaces. Closing this gap is easy with our Aligners.
Overbite
The upper teeth close far out in front of the lower teeth which causes the jaw to ache. Our aligners will push them back to perfection, relieving you of all discomfort.
Deep Bite
This happens when the upper front teeth disproportionately overlap the bottom front teeth when the back teeth are closed causing discomfort. Our aligners help solve this problem.
Frequently asked questions
01
How Common is an Open Bite?
An open bite is a condition where a person always has an opening because the top and bottom teeth do not shut properly. It is not a very common complaint.
02
What is a suitable age to treat an open bite?
Children with an open bite condition should have a dental evaluation at around seven years of age, while they still have some baby teeth. This is the suggested age to start certain open bite correction procedures such as behavior modification, to prevent open bites as they grow.
03
Does open bite get worse with time?
Yes, just like any orthodontic malocclusion, which when left untreated, gets worse with time. Seek an expert dental consult as soon as you can.
04
How can I determine if I have an open bite?
To figure out if you have an open bite, look in the mirror and bite down gently. Look at yourself while trying to smile, if there is a space between the upper and lower teeth, chances are you have an open bite. Consult our Dezy orthodontists for further examination.
05
What are the causes of open bites?
An open bite is generally caused by skeletal problems such as genetics or dental problem or a combination of both. Skeletal open bites happen as a result of improper jawbone growth which causes the jaw and teeth to grow incorrectly. This could be in your genes or a particular hereditary jaw size and shape being passed on.
A dental open bite occurs as a result of misaligned teeth or bad oral habits such as thumb sucking, sucking on Pacifiers, tongue thrusting, etc. Other causes include traumas to the jaw, insufficient space for adult teeth to erupt, poor tongue posture, or improper swallowing patterns.
06
What happens if I don’t undergo open bite correction?
If you do leave your open bite untreated, it can lead to overall oral and health problems such as decaying teeth, difficulty in eating and chewing, temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), speech impediments, and breathing disorders.
07
Can an open bite be fixed naturally?
No, an open bite cannot be fixed on its own; you will have to use aligners, and braces or go through surgery. The more time wasted, the more invasive will be the open bite correction treatment.
08
What are the various treatment options for an open bite?
- Aligners – removable and transparent plastic trays that are firmly fitted on your teeth and apply pressure progressively achieving the perfect position
- Braces – use of metal brackets and wires to push the buck teeth to the desired position
- Behavior modification – therapy to correct tongue thrusting Jaw surgery in the case of a severe open bite condition
09
Why are clear aligners the preferred open bite treatment?
These invisible aligners are more suited than other traditional forms of dental treatments like braces. They are invisible, removable, and show quick results with fewer trips to the orthodontist as compared to braces.
10
Does thumb sucking cause an open bite?
Yes, it is a common cause of open bites.
11
Can an Open Bite Cause a Lisp?
Yes, speech impediments are common results of open bite. Since teeth closure is improper, there are difficulties in articulating and speaking.

Very Convenient
It's hassle free. Will definitely recommend it to my friends and family. What I liked the most was that they sent a dentist to my home for the free scan. It was very convenient and the orthodontist explained the treatment process in detail during the consultation.

Dezy made it so easy for me
Pretty easy to book the scan. The scanning was scheduled for the next day. Dr Priyal visited my home on time and was very efficient with the whole process. The payment process is hassle-free. Although I made full payment, I feel the EMI options make it easier for people to pay for their treatment. Overall a great experience.
