Does posterior open bite effect your looks???

[AnastPal67]

When I close my mouth my back teeth dont touch which I am pretty sure is posterior open bite , if it does effect looks I need to find a way to fix that asap

not a doctor but im pretty sure an uneven bite like that will lead to asymmetries in your face, especially your sphenoid will thilt over time, i had a crossbite and my face has always been a little asymmetrical but i think it got slightly better after my braces that i am currently still using

i‘ve got the same, for me it’s not severe at all but it can make your lower third appear long especially from the side and make your chin and jaw appear weak. go to an orthodontist you might need a a bite splint to fix

When you say weak you mean resseced , less defined or what? My front teeth are aligned so I dont fucking understand how the back teeth can make me resseced .

calm down bro it’s all chill. because the top front teeth overlap the bottom, the mandible is almost always underdeveloped or sits further back, and it lessens the forward projection of the chin

Then its not chill, you are basically saying it fucks up your mandible
