In this video series on bite types and body balance, Dr. Fernanda Youssef, a dentist specializing in functional jaw orthopedics, addresses the topic in an explanatory way, presenting the symptoms, showing how to identify and treat these problems.

The open bite is a type of dental arch position in which the upper teeth do not touch the lower teeth. According to the doctor. Fernanda, the musculature of the mouth can become flaccid, causing the tongue to not perform its role correctly, which can impair functions such as chewing, swallowing and breathing, from childhood.

The use of pacifiers, bottles or the habit of breathing through the mouth can lead to an open bite. Do you want to understand how to identify and treat the problem? It is possible to minimize the impacts of this type of bite in both childhood and adulthood.
