The dentist may ask the patient to bite down with a piece of coated paper between the upper and lower teeth; this paper will leave colored marks at the points of contact.

Will it raise the price of braces if you bite the orthodontist?

If you bite the orthodontist purposely, they may ask you to find another dentist and most likely will not refund you for dental work already performed. If it's an accident, just say you are sorry as accidents do happen and it's sometimes hard to keep your mouth open for a long time. Try not to bite anyone, as dental care people are doing their best to make you comfortable. If you dislike your dentist for whatever reason, chairside manner etc, then it is best not to resort to biting, just find another dentist.
