Open bite correction is an orthodontic treatment that focuses on closing the gap between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed. This condition occurs when some teeth do not come into proper contact, which can affect biting, chewing, speech, and smile aesthetics.
The patient presented with an anterior open bite, where the upper and lower front teeth did not make proper contact when biting. This condition affected smile aesthetics, speech, and biting efficiency. The patient sought a comfortable and discreet orthodontic solution to achieve proper bite closure and improve overall dental function.
A customized Elencia Aligners treatment plan was developed using a non-extraction approach. Through advanced digital treatment planning and a series of precision-engineered clear aligners, controlled tooth movements were performed to close the open bite and improve overall dental alignment.
The case was successfully completed in 10 months using 38 custom clear aligners, including 20 maxillary aligners and 18 mandibular aligners. Treatment resulted in effective bite closure, improved tooth positioning, and enhanced smile aesthetics while maintaining patient comfort throughout the process.
