Hi . Im a 18 male. When I was 11, I got braces for four years. During the treatment, I had two premolar on my top side removed. When my treatment ended, accouple months later I noticed that i can only touch the left side of my teeth top and bottom. I took the initative to talk to an ortho about my teeth. i sowed him pictures and he said I have a bilateral posterior open bite. He did not say i need braces or what or what kind of appliances Ill need. I want to know if I need metal braces again. How long do you think it will be and what other appliances I need.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The Posterior open bite has to be treated again with braces. The duration of the treatment may take around 1-1.5years. Consult an orthodontist and take one more opinion and redo the treatment. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
