Bite plate?!


Question:

Bite plate?

Next time i go to the ortho i have to get a bite plate, could someone explain what the purpose of a bite plate is for?


Answers:

I had a bite plate years ago before I got braces. It helps with an overbite (that's what I had mine for). Basically preps your mouth for a different bite before the braces. It's similar to a retainer but thicker usually and hold differently on your teeth but basically the same idea. It doesn't hurt or anything. Just something to get use to.
