Methods to correct open bite

Braces:

Braces are effective, convenient and affordable method for correction of open bite. They work by helping shift the teeth and prompt the bone to change its shape which in turn gets the teeth in desired place there are several braces option:

Metal braces-They contain metal brackets and metal wires. Treatment proceeds by posterior teeth intrusion (intrusion is the movement in orthodontics where a tooth is partially moved into the bone) and anterior teeth extrusion (extrusion is displacement of a tooth out of its socket which makes it appear longer).

Ceramic braces-Ceramic braces have ceramic brackets and ceramic wires which are tooth colored. They are often invisible from a distance. They work similar to the metal braces and are, as strong as them. They are likely to stain because of the material so care must be taken by brushing after every meal.

Lingual braces- These are also known as hidden braces as they are placed on the inner surface of the teeth facing the tongue. These braces are less visible and are perfect for people who don’t want the braces to be visible.
