I’m 25, turning 26 in 11 days and my braces go on February 8th! I’ve wanted this my whole life, I have an open bite and very crooked teeth - mostly my front two. Been so insecure my entire life. I’m so happy it’s finally happening. To those wishing they had money - start saving. I promise it’s worth it! I definitely don’t have extra money - trust me. But I was tired of thinking “some day” and made it happen.
Best of luck for your journey 💜
Did it changed your face shape?
@@r_t_x_z8435 not sure I haven’t gotten them on yet
@Ankita Jaiswal He told me to get braces to fix my upper jaw and make it more wide
@Ankita Jaiswal no my doctor hasn’t told me that. Worth second opinions. First orthodontist told me I’d need jaw surgery to fix my open bite. Second one told me absolutely not and my case was easy.
I can't wait to fix my teeth, one day😭
how old are you sister?
@@pangitngpangalanko4754 I'm 16 years old, why are you asking?
@@MsAdams989 I'm just curious, nothing personal. (Really)
Me 2, i recently celebrate my 20 birthday
Me too I'm already 17
Im 22, cant wait to get my open bite fixed when i have the money to do so someday.
Hope it isnt too late by then, it makes me insecure cos it deforms the way my mouth moves when i talk😥
I've had this open bite literally forever. I have a very bad one also,, worse than any of these. My confidence has never been great, I can't talk normally to others without being embarrassed. Hopefully I get it fixed soon.
Good luck! Hope you're able to find a solution to give you a great smile :)
me tooooo but I have braces and recently my orthodontist added something called kobi’s to where I wear my bands in a square where my open bite is worse so I’m hoping this does something 😭
@@alyssaa.4464 is it going good?
Thanks for the animations. Very informative!
Glad that you enjoyed the video!
22 years and finally able to afford it and get what I need. I’m so excited for this journey and ready for ir
You got this!
@@PremierOrthodontics how much to fix an open bite
How long does it take to b corrected
I am 22 also and I am finally getting it corrected too!!
How's your journey going?
Awww I’m so happy for them!!
Thank you Doctor for replying messages its really teaching a lot.
Our pleasure!
Seeing the 3 cases after the braces were removed called for a tear I’ve been trying the last 3 years getting different opinions, getting wisdom teeth out, also a root canal just to get prepared. It’s not even severe and there isn’t crowding more like slight spacing I’ve had some decent dental insurance companies through employers and of course ortho is usually only good for dependents and I’m 26 ready to give up on getting the smile I want at one point a dentist told me those are not corrected or basically a rarity and the cases are considered compromised cases sorry for the rant
Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say because there is no syntax in your text. Would you mind explaining it once again?, Thank you
I have an open bite and I just got braces a couple of days ago! Very excited for the outcome
How's your journey going?
HELLO DOC❤️ im so happy you were able to treat their open bite, i just had my panoramic xray yesterday and my dentist said that I have class 1 anterior open bite (is this considered severe?), can this be treated with braces? Thank u for answering
Definitely should be able to be treated with braces. Without seeing your teeth its hard to say how severe it is -- but most patients with open bites can get great results with braces 👍
Wish you could of discussed the time frame for all these !!
I love this video, gives me hope that my teeth can be fixed someday
Hello doctor
Thank you for this amazing explanation
I got an open bit about 3 years ago. I had perfect occlusion before then my open bite is extending all the way to my 2nd molars about 5mm
My doctors says this is unusual. No history of trauma involved
What mode of management do you think it’s best for me
I have an open bite, i could be wrong. But I see every orthodontist has a different approach, i have a class three malloclusion. I was suggested maxillofacial surgery, and probably tooth extractions(with the open bite) i currently have
Thank u
Hi doc! I have a moderate open bite, and my main concern is that my Jaw and neck are constantly in pain. I get headaches almost daily. I can the muscle on the left side of my jaw is almost non existent. Would braces help this ? My dentist said he couldn't do anything about the pain. Thanks in advance.
So my openbite bite is pretty large. Can’t bite anything in the front lol, but my teeth are not crooked looking. Only one tooth is very out of place basically throwing off the whole alignment. Idk if that is severe of mild or moderate lol. What do you think I would need?
I’ve had an open before and unfortunately I had to get a maxilofacial surgery done on December of the year 2000 to get my open bite corrected
Im 21yo and correcting an open bite with braces and surgery. 6 months ago I had a SARME surgery to make my upper jaw wider and in about 6 to 12 months im going to have one more surgery to move my upper jaw upwards in the back and that way my open bite will be closed. I have talked to a couple of orthodontists and they all say that surgery is needed in most of the open bite cases and that the relapse rate is alot bigger without surgery :)
We wish you the best with your treatment!
Just be careful..I've had braces twice and surgery - my open bite came back worse than before
Is Tad safe? Looks very painful. What are the side effects? How long does it take it to finish the treatment? How old is good time to do it???
Is an severe overbite with gum diseases hopeless without surgery?
Does your wisdom tooth /teeth have to be pulled out prior to getting braces for an open bite ?
Question: I had a more advanced wire on my bottom teeth and my ortho went back and put a more flimsy wire on to engage another tooth that had been left out. Will this prolong my treatment? I feel like I will have to go back through the wire I was already at.
Hi Doc can open bites cause daily headaches/spasms or severe headsches at all? Do they cause grinding/clenching at all? These are my main 2 issues. Thanks!
Let me tell you, I had an open bite and my symptoms were
1: stretching sensation and tension at my temples
2: some emptiness of my head
3: difficult nose breathing
4: congested sinuses
5: bcz of congested sinuses, severe pressure on eyes
It was really a bad journey
Does open bite cause brain fog? Ive got forward head posture too, and a missing back molar.
Just had my braces put on at 29 years old. Been wanting them doing for the longest time just never had the money to do so.
Can't wait to see the results as my open bite is pretty bad, and gives me so much insecurity.
Hope all is good I’m 23 have had open bite for years now can’t wait to one day get treatment in the same boat glad to see there’s other people like me
@@MUKBANGMADNESS it's been just over a week and now I have no pain at all. Only when I'm eating it is so annoying but I guess I will also get used to that soon.
The first week was so bad for me though. My cheeks cut so much and I was using the brace wax to stop it rubbing.
Good luck on your journey, I can also see my teeth starting to move
@@wii60own hey I also have open bite Is braces good do you prefer it and does it hurt
@@zigsaw7161 got my bottom braces done today, and top adjusted. The pain is bad but not as bad when I got the top ones put on.
I can see changes already so it's definitely worth it
@@wii60own hey bro thanks for replying actually my problem is when i close my mouth my upper nd lower teeth dont touch each other my lower teeth comes in front of upper teeth slightly not much it was not that before 10 to 15 days it happens recently dont know how nd i have open bite also my teeth are not in shape and now i got underbite that when i smile or normaly open my face It looks very bad so i think braces would be engouh for me as i dont want to do surgery i dont have that much money but i can afford braces But ita worth it if it can solve my problem plz take time and give me reply i hope i was able to explain it well to you because i failed in front of my parenta they are like nothing happend all is perfect but i know the pain plz reply
Patient 2 really had to walk around with 2 missing teeth 😫 brave mamas! I know she feels so happy with her new smile though
Getting a few teeth extracted while in braces isn't too big of deal. When you have brackets and wires the its not real noticeable that there were extractions done
I had to extract 4 teeth (my first premolars) before getting braces and I actually liked it. The extra space is just so fun to play with! Like how i could slide straws through them and do cool tricks lol
Nice video
I don't think I have an open bite, I've got a forward teeth though but not that much, can this be considered an open bite? My dentist just gave me the same elastics alignment as the one shown in the video for mild open bite and told me that it will help on pushing my teeth backwards. Does anyone have the same case with me? And how is it going? Did it really push your teeth backwards?
Hello Dr I have small teeth with that severe open bite and I am worring about getting gummy smile if I fixed them can I I achieve them without getting that gummy smile
Thanks for ur outstanding representation 👏
Is closing an open bite more likely to cause root resorption? Is severe pain with elastics a sign of root shortening? I just had to go from “Bummer” to “Fred” elastics because I kept getting intense pain that lasted for several seconds. Thank you for your videos!
I have a slight open bite with a narrow bite, how would you fix it. I also have relatively straight teeth
Can't wait to have braces
Doc in vertical issues like open bite how this rubber bands works to close the open bite ? Why the wire itself can not take the upper teeth down and lower front teeth up ?
oh my god! watching this as an 18 year old with an open bite in Arizona i gasped when he said at the end that their office is in arizona!! theres hope for me when i thought there wassnt😭!! now i just gotta make the money to fix it..
is it normal to see black triangles/holes now that i have braces? i didn't see this many before braces and my teeth were pretty straight to begin with.. only got them because of my open bite
I have a severe open bite, was supposed to have jaw surgery to fix it but now the dentist has done a u-turn and said that it can be fixed with braces alone (with the screws). It's a 4.2mm gap, only my molars touch, and I can't eat or speak properly. My concern is relapse; what if I go through all this (again, because I already had braces as a kid) just to have it go back the way it was? I know retainers keep the teeth in place but what about the bite? Surely it's my jaw that needs correcting as well?
I’m getting an expander +braces
Damn, this is great stuff. Wow.
I have an overbite really bad but i see the orthodontist Wednesday Jan 5th 2021 :)
is there an example of mild open bite with no extractions?
Apart from braces do you guys also do veneers?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 love it how they change
Thank you!
Do open bites need surgery? Mine is small teeth straight but oral surgeon says it will never be fixed with braces in general.
Is it obliged to do extractions to fix Openbite when it's not moderate ?
Really good
Glad you think so!
How long was the second case in regards to treatment ?
I’ve had one round of braces already that fixed my teeth but not my bite completely, two years later just got braces put back on as the open bite was causing too much pain in my jaw, hoping this round of braces and elastics fixes my jaw issues- has anyone else ever had to have two rounds of braces before?
I've had two rounds of braces AND a jaw reconstruction in my teens to fix my open bite..and guess what? I'm 42 and my open bite has returned even worse than before! Orthodontists and surgeons need to monitor and warn people about possible tongue thrust post surgery as this is what happened to me. Looking now at getting it fixed again but I'm not hopeful..I've seen 3 specialists and they've all said they can't help me
I never had an open bite before my braces idk how they caused my teeth to open up I’ve been wearing elastics for 3 months and see no results
Sir I have had my braces for 2 yrs!!! I have started rubber bands for 2 months now I have a slightest open bite how long further will it take to fix it???
Wear your rubber bands full time and you should see bite correction really soon 👍
So I have an open bite due to sucking my tongue and poor tongue posture I have a tongue crib and I also have braces should I take myofuctional therapy while I have it on or I should take myofuctional therapy after my tongue crib is off ???
Definitely ask your doctor for recommendations. There are many different techniques for helping bites stay closed, and myofunctional therapy is a good option for some patients.
Can it be helpful if i have tmd?
Dr. I have both open and over bite is it can be solved or not ?
My wife has an open bite,the type 2 she's 29 and has to lose 2 of her teeth. She's very scared of the pain because she's hearing it's a painful process and she's worried on how long will it take to correct it.
It will generally take about 2 years of treatment, but it will be worth it :)
Nice
How can I be able to access all your tutorials
What is the time duration for braces of open bite??
Where is the best to do that in Europe, if you can recommend me someone in Germany/Austria
Only for Opet bit
Is it Sato Metode best for Open Bot,any other way?
Can open by teeth effect clearly talk with people
I have an open bite (not sure how severe but the dentist only just noticed it at my last appt). I also have a habit of pushing my tongue against my top teeth... if I got it fixed with braces, Invisalign or screws would the problem recur if I can't break that habit?
Yes it will open back up but probably not as bad! That’s what my orthodontist told me.
hi I have the same problem, it is called Tongue Thrust. It causes the open bite, i have a Habit Appliance/ Tongue Crib to stop the habit prior to wearing Invisalign
About how long does it take to correct a severe open bite? Teeth in my top and bottom arches are aligned ok (within each arch) but only my molars touch - very much like the image shown in your video at 00:32 sec.
Most of the time it takes about 24 months for orthodontic treatment with bite correction
@@PremierOrthodonticswhat’s the process for fixing a bite thats shown at 0:32 and is this a severe bite? And How long would it take?
@@PremierOrthodonticssorry but would it also cause weird mouth issues?
Hi! I was told by my dentist that neither invisalign nor braces can move forward my upper teeth.. I was worried to only move the lower set backward since my upper and lower are alrdy very inner.. So if they only move the lower set backwards, my face will even look flatter or worse give a moon-shape..... Is there really no way to move the upper set forward?
.hope someone can answer🙏
I would recommend getting a second opinion from an orthodontist. 👍
I have a very mild open bite I have started rubber bands for almost a month how long will it take to fix it???
It will usually take several months to get full correction. The more you wear the rubber bands the faster you'll see results
I have a question. I have an open bite and I’ve been wearing braces for almost 4 years now. They’ve made me wear a box with elastics and there was one point where my top teeth and bottom teeth touched but let’s say like 2 or 3 days go buy without wearing my elastics, my teeth will go back up and the bite is open again and I don’t know what to do. It feels hopeless
Why did you stop wearing your elastics?
@@hanji8831 I didn’t. They made me change how I wear my rubber bands. They’d make me do a triangle on the back sides of my mouth on the side teeth. Idk if that made sense but when I was focusing on the area, my gap would open up again. And if I wear the side triangle shape with the box in the front, my mouth gets super sore because that’s so many rubber bands in my mouth. I don’t know if that made any sense
I've been in braces for open bite for 7 months now and my teeth are pretty much straight but my ortho hasn't used any elastics yet even though it's part of the plan treatment. Anyone could potentially know why? Thank you so much!
Have you asked him or her why ?
Me to
I got a severe open bite, they recommended jaw surgery 😭
Me too 😭😭 They said that my palate is narrow which could be what’s contributing to my open bite, so plan on trying the expander…
but I’m dangerously close to the age limit for those things so will probably have to resort to surgery if it fails
@@lettucesalad716 I need a palate expander too but surgery for me as I'm 34.
I had my four teeths extracted even though my teeth isn't crowded, I have a moderate open bite situation. Now I'm anxious whether it would be pull correctly right now since my lower front teeth are small and some have spaces between another. I'm thinking if my dentist did a right analyzation on my teeth 😭
They did the same for me. Trust the process!
@@kariahgreen2546 I will, thanks!!! 🥺🤍
Extractions may be needed for bite correction, not just for crowding. I'm sure your doctor will make sure its all perfect by the time you're finished!
What if you have a open bite but your 2 front teeth do not have roots?
I have had Invisalign for 11months and the progress is not as great. I am considering changing to traditional braces and extracting teeth. I am 28 years old and I have a severe open bite. Please advise.
That may be one option to consider. Open bites can be corrected with Invisalign. But there times that braces may be more effective
Yeah I just got braces 6 months ago, but got traditional. You might as well get traditional seeing that your mask will cover your mouth.
@@biancan4931 how's the progress now
my dentist only put braces on the top teeth and Not the bottom teeth...is this OK.??
i had a bad open bite, braces straightened my teeth, closed my bite a bit, but I needed double jaw surgery regardless
So I did upper teeth braces and then the orthodontist told me I need to have surgery don’t on my jaw or whatever and then do the bottom braces. My teeth basically look like that picture you’re showing
I have overbite... but of i correct it.. i m worried that it will become openbite lol.. bcoz when lower jaw being pulled... it produces gap btw my upper and lower teeth at the back.. what is this conditions?.., 🤔
i have an open bite. im so insecure with my smile. people always laugh at it makes my confident low. i have my braces on now. i cant wait for the result...
Best of luck!
@@PremierOrthodontics Thank you sir!
Hi there, are the mini screws an alternative to jaw surgery? I’ve been told I have to get braces and corrective jaw surgery. I’m an adult and I really don’t know if I want my jaw broken :/. Please help.
It depends on the severity of the bite correction needed. For someone with a severe overbite that wants to avoid surgery we will sometimes attempt correction with mini screws knowing that we may not be able to get 100% correction (but it should still improve)
Ask your doctor and they will be able to advise you on your specific case. Good luck 👍
How long does it take to close open bites?
It usually will take about 2 year for braces with bite correction.
I have a severe open bite, I'm 58 years, didn't know there is help, I live in England UK, can I get help here in England, please connect me with people who can help.
How can I be assisted in open bite
Hlo doctor i have a open bite which is for my front 4 teeth upper 4 teeth dont meet to tha lower part can you tell how much time it take to cure? And can this be cure only by reatainers
Most of the time it will take 18-24 months for orthodontic treatment with bite correction. Open bite correction will usually require braces or Invisalign.
I have a severe open bite but I live in NYC. Do you know of any surgeons I can go to up here? I would really appreciate you help!!!
We are based in Arizona, but there should be many great orthodontists in your area. Good luck!
If the problem is normal .. so can it be cured in a time span of 4 months ???
I can't wait to afford braces. I have an open bite and a gap, but I don't wanna get rid of the gap. How do they do that.
When the extractions are necessary?
I also have open bite but mine is mild
It depends on the amount of crowding and the severity of the open bite. Your doctor would be able to determine if it’s correct for you
@@PremierOrthodontics thank you so much Doctor
Can you fix my open bite pro bono? Please let me know. It's caused me so much depression. I was jumped in 2013 and my jaw was broken in two areas. I no longer smile due to this.
Check out www.smileschangelives.org/ to learn more about discounted braces programs. Hope this helps!
I'm 22 years old and now I'm having a braces and now I'm waiting for the day when I'll have only good smile 😁 no crooked teeth and overbite.
I want to do it really bad
I’m 17 and have an open bite which seems to be worse than these but my orthodontist just added something called kobi’s ?? I wear my bands in a square now but can you tell me more about this?
Hey i am also 17 nd i also have open bite just got my OPG(X Ray) today I hope my dentist will fix it without surgery i am embrassed to smile nd talk 😭
I have a mild open bite and they had 4 of my teeth extracted. I’m scared for the end results. I feel like my face will change. Can I put teeth implants were my teeth were extracted?
How is it going? Do you see some result?
i want to know what are the side effects of open bite | Doctor suggested me open bite surgery & said its an 3 yr procedure but me & my family are very tense about this can you suggested what to do ??
Correcting your bite will look better but it will also help you chew. Additionally having an open bite tends to put extra wear and tear on your back molars since they have to do all of the chewing. Getting the bite corrected will help spread the biting forces out onto all your teeth.
It's a big decision, but you have to live a long time with your teeth - we think it's worth it to invest the time to get them corrected so you can enjoy your smile and bite for life. Good luck with everything!
I have open bite and front gap teeth also so video put it how to brace and open bite solved
Braces can fix both the bite problem and the spacing of your teeth at the same time 👍
How much?
How much to fix open bite
I’m so mad my orthodontist said I needed surgery. I knew I just needed braces and rubber bands
Im.46.
I hv open bite from sucking thumb 😢😢😢. Is it possible to get it fixed 😢
What should I do if the rubber bands are touching my two fronts teeth and my gums are bleeding , is that dangerous?
It sounds like your gums are inflamed and you may need to work on your brushing and flossing. Bleeding gums are most likely not related to the rubber bands, but a sign that there is inflammation in your gums that needs to be taken care of.
Check out our videos on how to properly brush and floss with braces.
Also, it may be a good idea to see your dentist for a dental cleaning to get your hygiene back on track.
I’m 32. I need this so bad
what about a crossbite and open bit? is it something similar?
Crossbites are different -- we have a video all about crossbites and braces on our channel, check it out for more information 👍
How long does it take to fix under bite? Thanks
Most orthodontic treatment with bite correction will take 18-24 months
So I don't know what open bite I have because mine is not bad as the 3 patience I only have a open bite to the bottom front 5 teeth and the top front 4 teeth so I don't think it's that bad. But also how long will have to use them if I'm mild
Great question! Since everyone has a different bite and smile, our best advice would be to check with your local orthodontist for more info! :)
@@PremierOrthodontics thank you I got back to them in like 5 months
