What is an open bite?
An open bite occurs when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when your mouth is closed. When your jaw fully shut, there's a visible gap usually between the front teeth, it can also happen at the back too. You might not notice the gap until you try to bite through a sandwich and realise you're tearing it with your side teeth instead or until someone points out that you chew in a different way. An open bite can affect your speech (slight lisp), cause extra wear on the teeth that do make contact and put strain on your jaw.

Can Clear Aligners Fix Open Bite?
Yes, clear aligners can treat open bite.
Clear aligners are good at correcting open bite, especially when open bite is caused by tooth position. Clear aligners work by slowly moving teeth into their final position. For many open bite cases this means precisely shifting teeth so they can finally meet when you close your mouth. It takes precision and patience, but aligners are an ideal solution for fixing an open bite.
How Straights Can Help with Open Bite
Straights aligners gradually move teeth into contact where needed, helping to close the gap and restore proper bite function for easier eating and speaking.
