Misalignments · Open bite

Treat open bite with invisible aligners .

When the upper and lower front teeth don't meet when you close your bite, an open gap remains. For mild to moderate open bite SayCheeese can gently correct the front teeth alignment — invisibly in 1010 Vienna.

What is an open bite?

Front teeth don't meet.

An open bite describes a situation where upper and lower front teeth don't meet when biting down — a visible gap remains between them. As a result the side teeth are overloaded while the front teeth find no contact.

Causes range from congenital misalignments to tooth loss, bruxism and tooth shifts over a lifetime.

Causes

How does an open bite develop?

🧬

Congenital misalignments

Genetically caused jaw or tooth development.

🦷

Tooth loss

Missing teeth lead to shifts and height loss in the dentition.

Tooth movements with age

Over the years teeth can shift in a way that an open bite develops.

😬

Bruxism

Night-time tooth grinding leads to uneven wear and can promote an open bite.

Treatment

Can an open bite be treated with aligners?

For mild to moderate cases yes: SayCheeese aligners press gently and precisely on the teeth to bring them step by step into the right position. At the consultation we clarify with 3D scan and X-ray whether your case is suitable for aligners.

For strongly developed open bites with a jaw cause we refer you openly to a traditional orthodontic treatment.
