ORTHODONTIC CONCERN

Open Bite

What is Open Bite?

An open bite occurs when some upper and lower teeth do not meet when the mouth closes, most commonly at the front. It may affect biting and can be associated with habits, tooth position, or jaw growth. Treatment addresses the underlying cause and aims to establish appropriate contact between the teeth.
