FAQs
Open bites are dental problems that can affect teens and adults. Although they may not initially cause alarm, the impact on a person’s life and self-esteem is critical. Fortunately, there is an effective, affordable, and conservative approach to treating open bites, such as clear aligners.
This blog will explore open bite, its impact on general health, and why Smilepath’s clear aligners are effective solutions for Australians. Whether you or your child need treatment, Smilepath offers a modern, comfortable, affordable alternative to braces and surgery.
What is Open Bite?
An open bite is a dental malocclusion in which the anterior teeth of both the maxillary and mandibular arches do not make contact when the mouth is closed. It can affect both anterior and posterior teeth, and become most noticeable when speaking or chewing.
Symptoms
- Difficulty when chewing or biting food
- Speech issues, including lisps or other pronunciation issues
- Discomfort or soreness in the jaw, especially during chewing
- A visible space between teeth while the mouth is closed
Why Is Open Bite Treatment Important?
Tooth misalignment happens when your top and bottom teeth don't touch when you close your mouth normally. When teeth don't fit together like they should, both oral health and beauty aesthetics are affected - so treatment is required. Correct treatment fixes bite functionality, helps keep your mouth healthy, and makes daily life better in many ways.
Improved Chewing Function
Without treatment, open bite makes eating hard, which can cause problems like poor digestion.
Prevention of Jaw Pain
Jaw joints can suffer damage when your teeth are out of place, creating painful TMJ disorders.
Better Speech Clarity
When you have an open bite, you can't form clear speech sounds without hard effort.
Treatment Options for Openbite
1. Traditional Braces and Jaw Surgery
Braces
Braces apply gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into alignment and close the gap. Although braces are a proven treatment for open bite, they come with numerous challenges. They can be unpleasant, the treatment procedure can take years, and they need to be seen by an orthodontist frequently.
Jaw Surgery
In extreme situations, the open bite may necessitate jaw surgery, which can be costly, painful, and requires a long recovery.
2. Clear Aligners as a Modern, Non-Invasive Solution
Smilepath offers clear aligners that are more comfortable, convenient, and less visible than metal braces. They are transparent trays that slowly move your teeth into the proper position without metal brackets and wires.
