Well the back or sides of my teeth touch on the top and bottom when I bite. I had braces and my teeth were very close to perfect, now I can not bite food with my front teeth because my teeth do not close all the way. Also I guess I tongue thrust when I swallow. I do not want to have mouth surgery, I saw a surgeon he said he could fix it, but can this be solved easily with braces, if so, how long?
Late Growth in Upper Jaw, Top Teeth Do not touch bottom teeth when I bite?
Ah - and I thought I was the only one! I've had my braces for 2 1/2 years now, and that was after I had an RPE. Good luck!
Reply:ask your orthodontist silly.
Reply:This is something we can not answer without seeing appropriate x-rays. You could also have arthritic degeneration of the mandibular condyles, which would create a gap between your front teeth (top to bottom).
Reply:The tongue thrust or TMJ/Degeneration might caused the open bite problem. If the tongue thrust is the caused, I can treat it using Myofunctional Orthodontics to closed your bite down. You can call my office for more information 562-904-2157.
