Factors Affecting Cost:
① Type of Open Bite Correction
Different correction methods require different materials, leading to variations in cost.
② Regional Differences
Medical standards and living costs vary by region. In first-tier cities, higher medical expenses result in higher procedure costs, while in second- and third-tier cities, lower medical costs may lead to more affordable prices.
③ Dentist’s Experience
More experienced dentists may charge higher fees, while less experienced practitioners may offer lower rates.
It is recommended to consult a qualified dental professional to choose the most suitable correction plan. Additionally, maintain good oral hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods such as Sichuan pepper, chili peppers, and onions, attend follow-up appointments regularly, and ensure both effective correction outcomes and optimal oral health.
