Open bite can be due to dental (teeth problem ) or skeletal ( problem between the upper and lower jaws)causes. It can also happen due to bad habit during the growth of the child such as thumb succking or tongue thrust.Treatment in growing age can be using the suitable appliance to stop the habit and allow the muscles of the face and lip to fix the bite. In Adults ,the treatment is done using brackets (Labial or Lingual brackets ) or even clear Aligners for a period of 1.8 months to 2 years. Consult your specialized Orthodontist for guidance.
