Open Bite treatment in Toluca

Open Bite in Mexico

An open bite is a dental malocclusion in which the upper and lower teeth fail to make contact when the mouth is closed, leaving a visible gap between them. It can be anterior (between the incisors) or posterior (between the molars). This condition affects chewing, speech, and facial aesthetics. Its causes include habits such as thumb sucking, mouth breathing, improper tongue position, and genetic factors.
