Open bite

Open bite describes the fact that antagonistic teeth don’t get into contact, but are separated from each other over a more or less large distance. Most of the times, it’s caused by a dysfunction of the tongue, which is permanently positioned between the upper and lower front teeth or by thumb sucking. If this bad habit can’t be stopped orthodontic treatment will be difficult and the stability of the results will be uncertain.
