An open bite refers to when the upper and front teeth don’t meet when you bite down. The back teeth may receive too much pressure because the front teeth don’t share equally in the biting force. This can lead to premature wear of the back teeth and makes chewing less efficient. A more generic term for an open bite is malocclusion, which means the teeth aren’t aligned properly when the jaws are closed
