Open Bite Before and After

What’s the first thing you notice about a new acquaintance? Most people say the first thing they notice is your smile. A great smile can put other people at ease by expressing warmth and welcome. However, if your teeth are out of alignment (called malocclusion), it can be difficult to radiate “welcome” if you’re self-conscious. It may be even harder for you to eat or speak, if your malocclusion is what we call an open bite.

No matter what misalignment issues you struggle with, Dr. Monica Madan and the professionals at Beverly Hills Orthodontics are here to help. Below, you can see the results of the great work we do – helping people achieve the smile of their dreams. Our open bite before and after gallery presents just a few examples of the dramatic transformations we oversee at BHO.

This Open Bite Before and After Gallery displays four of BHO’s most recent patient success stories. Find out how BHO corrects open bite issues using different treatment options.

Patient 1

This patient came to us to correct her rotated lower front teeth and her anterior open bite.

She was in Invisalign which was powerful enough to close her bite and get all of her teeth back into the correct positions. She is very happy with these results!

Patient 2

This patient’s chief complaint was that her top and bottom front teeth didn’t align. She wanted her teeth to contact like they did right after she finished her braces the last time – and she wanted a better profile.

We prescribed Invisalign aligners to get her teeth into the correct position and keep them there. She now has the profile she always wanted – and a gorgeous smile to go with it.

Patient 3

This patient was referred to us to correct his anterior open bite. He already had gum recession around several teeth when he arrived at our office. Dr. Madan treated this patient’s open bite using Invisalign. He is able to use his front teeth to bite into and tear food. For example, seaweed in sushi or lettuce in a sandwich. This function has been a game changer in terms of quality of life.

This patient came to our office hoping to close her open bite. Using Invisalign, we moved her teeth into a better position to help her eat and drink all the foods she loves without any difficulty or pain.

What is an open bite?

For a standard bite, the top teeth contact and slightly overlap the bottom teeth all the way around the mouth. In an open bite, there is a space between the upper and lower front teeth and they do not overlap. Because the front teeth don’t touch, it can put extra pressure on the teeth that do make contact, leading to problems now and later in life. 

Open bites can manifest in two main ways:

  • Anterior (Front) open bite: This is where your front teeth do not meet and is the most common and noticeable form of open bite. Anterior open bites can include just two teeth not contacting or several teeth not touching. 
  • Posterior (Back) open bite: Posterior open bites aren’t usually visible when a person smiles, so they might go unnoticed for longer, but this form of open bite can cause many other problems and still needs to be corrected. Like anterior open bites, posterior open bites can involve very few teeth in contact.

Open bites can cause issues beyond your smile’s appearance. If your teeth don’t touch correctly, it can cause problems with eating, chewing, talking, or tooth trauma for the other teeth in your mouth that make contact. For open bites, consulting an orthodontist can help you decide how and when to start treatment.

Beverly Hills Orthodontics (BHO) has corrected numerous open bite cases across Los Angeles since we began operations in 2008. Dr. Monica Madan and the BHO team use the most up-to-date and cutting-edge treatments like Invisalign, braces, and other measures to eliminate open bites and provide patients with flawless smiles. 

How Are Open Bites Treated?

Invisalign: Invisalign aligners are custom-fit trays that can move people’s teeth in position the same way as traditional braces, without many of the downsides of metal brackets and wires. Invisalign can move teeth into the correct position while being less noticeable and more convenient.
Braces: Traditional metal braces involve brackets attached to the tooth and an archwire connecting everything. Teeth are gradually moved into position by pressure from the wire and any headgear or elastics.
Elastics: Elastics can be used along with traditional braces. Elastics are rubber bands that can add slight pressure to help pull the teeth into proper alignment.

Surgery: Surgery might sometimes be necessary to reposition the jaw bones to get all the teeth to make proper contact.

No one has scheduled my appointment better than Anthony and Dr. Madden is the best doctor!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful recommendation, Lizzie! We're thrilled to be considered the best in the area. Your support means a lot to us!
Alessandra M.
Dr Monica and her staff are just the absolute best. Office is beautiful and clean. Staff is great and kind and have never had any issues whatsoever. The work that she and her staff members do is just 10/10. They are also so welcoming and genuinely kind. Dr Monica and even members of her staff like Anthony will have genuine conversations with you and make you feel the most comfortable. Even during a treatment that many (including myself) are not fond of. (Anything dental related can be scary but they truly put you at peace.) I’m so happy that I made the decision to proceed with treatment here. All questions are always answered. Concerns dealt with. And treatment is impeccable. The results I already have solidify why I’m so happy with my decision to get work done here.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Alessandra. We're thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience. Our team is dedicated to making every visit comfortable and welcoming. Your satisfaction is our priority!

I highly recommend Dr Madan at BHO for all of your orthodontic needs. Between her warm personality, knowledge and skill you will have to look no further.
This office constantly has amazing offers and specials that make their treatment pricing EXTREMELY competitive. Trust me, as I’ve gotten consults from just about every provider in town. I am seeing unbelievable results with my Invisalign treatment only a few weeks in. Dr Madan was the obvious choice, as she made this process as minimally invasive as possible. I have been to multiple of her offices and they all are pristine. I would recommend to anyone in the LA area looking for the best provider for their orthodontist!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted you're experiencing exceptional results with your Invisalign treatment. Dr. Madan strives to create a comfortable and effective orthodontic experience for every patient.
Eva P.
So far I am having an amazing experience with Dr Madan and BHO. I’ve consulted with many Orthos over the years for Invisalign. Almost all said I would have to extract a tooth to solve over crowding issue on bottom teeth. Within literally 5 weeks of Invisalign, my bottom teeth are almost completely straightened out already. I cannot believe how fast this treatment is working. Not to mention, I had tradition braces in the past and my teeth fully reverted to their original form. It took over 4 years to correct my crowding with braces the first time, back in the day.

How incredible Dr Madan and her staff is , along with her immaculate offices deserves its own second review. 10/10 experience so far highly recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Eva! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Madan and our team. It’s rewarding to see your progress with Invisalign. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Anahit M.
I’ve had a good experience here. I have been coming here for about two years and I’ve seen great progress.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Anahit! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience and the progress you've made over the past two years. Your support means a lot to us!
