Different Types of Malocclusions

Dr. Arnaldo Lopez, CEO & General Dentist with SOMI Dental Group, explains different types of bites: healthy bite, overbite, underbite, and open bite.
He says any of these bites can occur in patients. Some of them are genetics. Most of them can be corrected with either Invisalign or braces.
Sucking the thumb at an early age can cause an open bite, explains Diana Perez-Caballero, Lead Dental Hygienist with SOMI Dental Group. An open bite can cause people to breathe through their mouths. Patients have dry mouth, a lot of plaque accumulation, and bleeding gums.'
