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.
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 may interfere with pronunciation, and speech causing people to develop a lisp.

The jaw isn’t large enough to fit all the teeth leading to crowding, plaque build-up, tooth decay, and gum disease.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, just like any orthodontic malocclusion, which when left untreated, gets worse with time. Seek an expert dental consult as soon as you can.
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.
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.
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.
