Bite Correction in Coimbatore
The short answer: Bite correction treats malocclusion, where upper and lower teeth do not meet properly. Overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites can affect chewing, wear and appearance. An orthodontist plans treatment with braces, aligners or appliances and, in rare skeletal cases, refers for jaw surgery.
