What is an Open Bite?
An open bite is a type of malocclusion where the upper and lower teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed. This may occur in the front teeth (anterior open bite) or the back teeth (posterior open bite). There are various causes of dental open bite, including thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, genetics, or improper jaw development. It’s more than just a cosmetic issue, it can lead to problems with chewing, speech, and jaw alignment.
Types of Open Bite
- Anterior Open Bite: It is the condition when the front teeth do not touch the lower teeth.
- Posterior Open Bite: It is the condition when the back teeth fail to make contact.

Only in rare, extreme cases, open bite surgery may be suggested. We explain all open bite surgery risks to help you make an informed decision.
Skeletal Open Bite
A skeletal open bite is a type of open bite caused by abnormal jawbone structure, not just tooth position. It usually results from improper vertical growth of the upper or lower jaw (or both), leading to a visible gap between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed.

Faqs
Open bite is when the teeth don’t touch and close bite is when upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth while biting or close your mouth.
It depends on the case. Clear aligners or braces can close an open bite slowly by moving teeth correct back into alignment.
If a posterior open bite after Invisalign develops, we may use elastics or braces for final adjustments.
We use orthodontic techniques like aligners, braces, or bite blocks to adjust the vertical space between your jaws.
Open bite surgery is required only in rare cases. We focus on non-surgical open bite correction whenever possible.
While minor cases might improve with habit changes (like stopping thumb sucking), most need orthodontic help. Clear aligners are the best non-surgical open bite correction for many patients.
