Frequently asked questions
What is an open bite?
An open bite is a dental condition that occurs due to the absence of proper vertical overlap between the upper and lower front teeth when the mouth is closed. It results in a visible gap or space between the upper and lower teeth, preventing them from making contact when biting down. Open bites can occur in the front (anterior) or side (posterior) of the mouth.
Is it possible to correct an open bite?
Yes, it is possible to correct an open bite with orthodontic treatment. An evaluation by a qualified orthodontist is essential to determine the most suitable treatment plan for an individual’s specific open bite condition.
What are the benefits of correcting an open bite?
Correcting an open bite offers several benefits, including improved oral function for chewing and speaking, enhanced aesthetics, prevention of compensatory habits, better self-esteem, and overall well-being. An open bite can contribute to oral health problems, such as excessive wear and tear on certain teeth due to increased pressure while biting. Treatment can prevent enamel erosion, cavities, gum disease, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.
What are the treatment options available to correct an open bite?
Treatment options include braces or removable aligners. Fixed orthodontic solutions include metal braces, hidden lingual braces, and clear braces. Invisalign aligners, made from clear, patented SmartTrack™ material, are popular due to their usage flexibility and virtual invisibility.
Are open bite treatments painful or invasive?
Orthodontic treatments for open bites are generally not painful or invasive. Any discomfort during adjustments is temporary and easily manageable with OTC pain killers.
How long does the treatment take?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of the open bite, the chosen treatment method, and individual factors. Treatment can range from several months to a few years.
Is it possible to correct severe cases of open bite?
Yes, severe cases can be corrected, too. Depending on the nature of the malocclusion, surgery or tooth extraction may be necessary.
How do you ensure long lasting results after treatment?
Correct orthodontic treatment plans, compliance with treatment recommendations, diligent use of retainers post-treatment, and following up with recommended maintenance routines ensure long-lasting results. Protecting your oral health by brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing, routine professional cleaning and regular dental check-ups also contribute to long-term stability after treatment.
Do you need to revisit your dentist for follow up treatments?
Yes, follow-up visits are crucial to monitor progress, make any necessary adjustments, ensure the stability of the correction, and potentially replace retainers. Wearing Invisalign to straighten teeth requires changing aligner trays at regular intervals during your treatment plan. Fixed braces need tightening as they move your teeth.
