The Open Bite Breakthrough
The Science
This case began with a severe open bite, where the front teeth did not even come close to touching. Beyond aesthetics, this affected everyday function — especially the ability to bite and chew efficiently. A comprehensive approach was needed to close the open bite, align both arches, and create a stable, long-term bite without surgery.
The Artistry
Using Pitts 21 self-ligating braces, Dr. Benson corrected this severe open bite through precise mechanics and intentional finishing — proving that dramatic changes can be achieved nonsurgically when the plan is designed correctly. The artistry was in the control: guiding the teeth into a functional relationship while shaping a smile that feels balanced and natural. The final result was truly life-changing — not only in confidence, but in the patient's ability to chew comfortably and close his mouth with ease.
