Open Bite -- Ortho Polish Teeth

#1 Post by tyeomans »

I am getting my braces removed on Feb. 22, and my last adjustment was January 8. I have a slight open bite on the right side of mouth where the canine is located. I am afraid that this will not close in time for my braces removal. So here's my question. Does polishing and shaping the teeth after the braces are off help a person's bite even more? I know that he will have to shape some of my teeth because both of my front incisors have chips in them. Do you guys know what I am talking? Does shaping the teeth make the bite fit better?

often what is called an occlusal adjustment is done on the biting surfaces of the teeth to help then mesh better.
