<s>[INST] Hi I am a 30 year old female who has an open bite which I am very self conscious when speaking to people and smiling is there any solution to this? as its only my 2 front teeth which doesnt overlap with the bottom teeth. I am thinking of extracting my four front teeth and have partial dentures so that I can have a perfect is that advisable? [/INST] Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Open bite can be due to jaw relation disturbance or occlusion disturbance. Extracting front four teeth won't provide a solution for this. You need to visit an orthodontist, who will study your jaws and teeth, take few x-rays and then decide the treatment. Usually teeth alignment is done using braces for 9-12 months varying from case to case. Extraction of one or more premolar may be required for making space. Then fixed braces will be attached to teeth exerting required force to move teeth in desired alignment.Nowadays composite braces are available, which are esthetically better. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you! </s>
