Clear Aligners | Closing Open Bite _ Orthodontic Case

Orthodontic cases

Clear aligner treatment for closing an open bite.

Patient's Chief Complaint:
The patient felt that the front teeth could not bite together, which affected eating efficiency. When smiling, the teeth exposure felt insufficient. Both the poor biting function and aesthetic concerns had an impact on daily life. Seeking orthodontic treatment.

Treatment Plan:
Upon examination, there was an anterior open bite with no contact; the patient's occlusal curve (smile line) was uneven; the narrow dental arch prevented the tongue from being positioned correctly; and there was vertical overdevelopment of the teeth. Treatment plan: Use clear aligners to intrude the posterior teeth to resolve the excessive vertical dimension, and expand the arch to address the narrow dental arch.

Treatment Results
After Invisalign clear aligner treatment, the dental arch changed from a tapered shape to a square-round shape, providing ample space for the tongue; the anterior teeth can now make normal contact, resolving the anterior open bite. A natural smile line has appeared, and the buccal corridor ratio when smiling is also more harmonious. The restoration of the anterior biting function allows the patient to enjoy many foods that were previously difficult to eat. Orthodontic treatment not only improves aesthetics but also enhances overall health!
