Improper bite after orthodontics. Does anyone know why I'm hitting my front teeth when I talk? (Photo)

rainmarieMar 8, 2023
I constantly hit my front teeth on my bottom teeth when I speak. My ortho doesn’t know why! He says my bite looks perfect but even that too, it feels crooked to me and I catch my back cheek on my right side when I chew. He wants me to wait until the bite settles to see if it fixes my issues. Why did he take braces off knowing I had these issues? I’m feeling regretful I let him take them off. Does anyone know why I’m hitting my front teeth on my bottom when I talk? Maybe I can share it with him.

By seeing your photos, I feel you have dental class one but skeletal class three. So it's my advice to visit the orthodontist. Cephalometric analysis is a must in such cases to understand the perfect scenario. I feel you have skeletal excess.

Assuming your teeth are cavity free, gums are healthy, and you have appropriate root lengths… Ideal treatment would involve:1. Clear aligners to level and align all teeth, expand the arch form to fill in some of the negative space on the sides, and create equal spacing around the peg...

You would want to see an orthodontist first to level and align the teeth. The malocclusion can be best masked through braces rather than a restorative solution.
