When this malocclusion occurs at the front teeth it is known as anterior open bite. An open bite is difficult to treat due to multifactorial causes, with relapse being a major concern. This is particularly so for an anterior open bite. [58] Therefore, it is important to carry out a thorough initial assessment in order to obtain a diagnosis to ...

Intercuspal Position (ICP), also known as Habitual Bite, Habitual Position or Bite of Convenience, is defined at the position where the maxillary and mandibular teeth fit together in maximum interdigitation. This position is usually the most easily recorded and is almost always the occlusion the patient closes into when they are asked to 'bite ...
The bite can be characteristically open on that side. Bilateral thrust: [citation needed] This occurs when the tongue pushes between the back teeth on both sides during the swallow with the jaw partially open. Sometimes, the only teeth that touch are the molars, with the bite completely open on both sides including the anterior teeth.
