Open Bite Correction in Epsom

An open bite occurs when your upper and lower teeth don’t meet, leaving a gap between them. This dental issue, often categorized as a malocclusion, can lead to various problems, including difficulty chewing, speech impediments, and even jaw joint pain.

If you or your child is struggling with an open bite correction, our experienced team at Alpers Dental can help. We offer a range of treatment options, including traditional braces and innovative clear aligners, to address your specific needs.

Don’t let an open bite hold you back. Schedule a consultation today to learn more about your open bite correction options and restore your smile’s beauty and function.

Only in very severe cases will an open bite require oral surgery. Usually, it can be corrected with regular orthodontic intervention, such as braces or Clear Aligners. Your dentist will do a full comprehensive examination, including x-rays or 3D imaging, to assess you or your child’s bite and determine the proper treatment.

Yes, absolutely. Any orthodontic problem, like an open bite, that is not fixed will get worse over time. It is very important to see an experienced dentist as soon as possible who can fix you or your child’s open bite. This will prevent further damage to the teeth and gums and pain or discomfort when you or your child chews, bites or swallows.

Children with open bites will have the best and most long-lasting results if they get help as early as age 7.
