✨ Open Bite Transformation ✨

These results show what can happen when orthodontics and myofunctional therapy work together to close an open bite.

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth don’t touch when the mouth is closed. This can be caused by habits such as tongue thrust, improper tongue posture, or airway-related issues.

In this case, treatment included:
✔️ Orthodontic treatment to properly align the teeth and close the bite
✔️ Myofunctional therapy to retrain tongue posture and oral muscle function
✔️ Habit correction to help ensure long-term stability

By addressing both the teeth and the underlying muscle habits, we were able to achieve a healthy bite and a beautiful smile that will last.

Orthodontics isn’t always just about straight teeth — sometimes it’s about correcting function so the results stay stable for life.

📍 If you or your child has an open bite or tongue posture concerns, our team can help determine the best treatment plan.

Flossing with Braces? Yes, You Still Have To! If you have braces, brushing alone is NOT enough.
Braces create tiny spaces where food and plaque love to hide. If they're not cleaned properly, this can lead to:
• White spot lesions (permanent marks on teeth)
• Cavities
• Swollen or bleeding gums
• Bad breath
Pro Tip:
Use one of these tools to make flossing easier:
• Floss threaders
• Orthodontic floss picks
• A water flosser (great for teens!)
Just 5 extra minutes a day can prevent permanent damage and keep your smile on track.
