OPEN BITE

Open bite is a frequently encountered malocclusion in dental practice. A well-planned treatment approach is crucial for achieving stable and successful outcomes. Diagnosing and managing open bite malocclusion presents a unique challenge particularly when intervention is attempted at an early age. A simple open bite occurring during the transition from primary to permanent dentition often resolves without intervention. However more complex open bites-those extending into the premolar and molar regions or persisting beyond the mixed dentition phase-may necessitate orthodontic and/or surgical treatment.
