Bite Raisers In Orthodontics
Write short note on natural bite openers.
Answer. The moment the first permanent molar erupts the associated deep bite gets relieved and this is known as natural bite opener.
“Understanding the role of bite raisers in correcting malocclusions”
- According to Schwartz, there are three periods of physiologic raising of the bite, with the eruption of the fist permanent molars at 6 years, with the eruption of the permanent second molars at 12 years and with the eruption of the third molars at around the age of 18 years.

- As the upper and lower fist permanent molars erupts, the pad of tissue overlying them creates a premature contact.
- Proprioceptive response conditions the patient against biting on this natural “Bite opener” and thus the deciduous teeth anterior to the fist permanent molar area erupt, reducing the overbite, this is physiologic bite opening.
