What should be done to fix an openbite?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Openbites: There are different types of openbites. There are posterior openbites (open in the back). There are anterior openbites (open in the front). Finally there are differences between skeletal (openbite because of the bone) and dental (teeth only and not bone) openbites. Each type of openbite will be treated differently. Options include bite plates (retainer type), braces, extractions, and/or surgery.
