A open bite is when the upper and lower incisors do not come into contact in a closed position. It can be hereditary or acquired. In childhood, prolonged pacifier sucking, finger sucking, tongue thrust swallowing and mouth breathing can all be predisposing factors.
Open bites can cause not only aesthetic problems but also chewing and speech difficulties.
A Crossbite can affect a single tooth or even whole groups of teeth.
Anterior crossbite is when the lower teeth bite in front of the upper teeth.
Lateral crossbite is when the upper teeth bite inwards more than ideal because of a narrower upper jaw or wider lower jaw.
This can result in asymmetry, speech and joint problems and abnormal tooth wear.

Aligner treatment often requires IPR (interproximal reduction), also known as stripping. IPR is a procedure to temporarily create space between the teeth (usually only up to 0,5 mm per surface). A protective fluoride varnish is applied to the treated tooth surfaces. IPR is usually performed at the beginning or during the treatment in the transition between the individual phases.
