When we talk about a severe open bite, we know we are not dealing with a simple case. This kind of malocclusion affects not only the look of the smile: it can seriously compromise chewing function, joint health and, in many cases, the patient’s quality of life.
A complex case… with a happy ending
Our patient came to Clínica Peydro with a severe open bite which also came with clear symptoms in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ): constant pain, limited function and a growing sense of frustration at not finding a solution that did not involve surgery.
She had been to other clinics and the proposal was clear: surgery. However, she did not want to resort to such invasive treatment if there was another option.
And there was.
Step-by-step planning with SPARK aligners
We chose treatment with SPARK clear aligners, designing each stage with a single objective in mind: restoring function, closing the open bite and fully respecting the patient’s facial appearance.
These were the three pillars of our plan:
- Controlled closure of the open bite without affecting the harmony of the face
- Improved jaw function and the disappearance of the joint symptoms
- Long-term occlusal stability
The key to success in cases like this lies not only in the type of aligner but in the biomechanical planning behind every movement. When that part is looked after in detail, the results arrive… and they are striking.
The result: health, function and confidence
The treatment has been a complete success:
- The bite has closed completely
- The patient no longer has pain and can move her jaw entirely normally
- And, most importantly, she has regained confidence in herself and in her smile
Cases like this remind us why we do what we do. Clear aligners are not just an esthetic tool: they are a real solution for complex functional problems and, when applied with knowledge and experience, they transform lives.
If you are also looking for a second opinion about your open bite, or you think you may have TMJ problems, we can help you at Clínica Peydro. You are one step away from getting your wellbeing back.
