Open bites occur when there's a gap between the upper and lower front teeth when the back teeth are in contact. TADs can assist in correcting open bites by:
Intrusion or Extrusion of Teeth: TADs provide stable anchorage for orthodontic mechanics that intrude (push down) or extrude (pull up) specific teeth. Intruding the posterior teeth or extruding the anterior teeth helps close the gap between the upper and lower front teeth.
Orthodontic Mechanics: TADs, in combination with braces or clear aligners, allow orthodontists to apply precise and controlled forces to reposition teeth, gradually closing the open bite.
Customized Treatment: Each case is unique, so orthodontists develop personalized treatment plans that may involve TADs at specific locations to achieve optimal bite closure.
