Open Bite: Causes, Types, and Solutions

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed, creating a visible gap between them. This dental misalignment not only affects your smile’s appearance but can also lead to functional problems that impact your quality of life.

Everything You Should Know About Underbite

An underbite occurs when your lower jaw protrudes forward, causing the bottom teeth to extend beyond the upper teeth. This misalignment varies in severity, ranging from mild cases where the lower teeth slightly overlap the upper teeth to severe conditions where the teeth don’t make contact at all due to the gap.
