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.
What else can I help you with?
If you cant bite down on your back teeth because your back braces get in the way is that normal?
No, go to your orthodontist for an adjustment.
Who works in the orthodontist office?
an orthodontist. my orthodontist has other employees putting on the braces and putting in spacers and taking pictures of your teeth and all that stuff. the orthodontist sees if you have an overbite or an underbite and if you need a retainer or bite plate and sees what teeth you need to lose before you can get braces.
To get braces but have a cavity and the tooth is decaying will they need to remove it put in a crown and put on your braces What is the process?
Your orthodontist and dentist should discuss this. usually they'll want you to get a crown after you get braces because crowns are man made and made to fit your bite before you have braces. so if you get the crown before the braces, after you straighten your teeth, your bite won't be right. They'll proabably have you do the build up on the tooth that needs the crown to make it stronger which is required before you actually get a crown. Then put braces on. And after you get your braces off then you'll get your crown.
Does a person with an overbite always need braces?
It depends of the severity of the cross bite/overbite/under bite. Also, if you can't decide yourself, consult a certified orthodontist. They will be able to answer any questions that you may have. From personal experience(15 year-old w/ braces for gaps and a slight overbite)I needed them. I have to wear mine for three years, which cost $4200. For you, the price may differ. And again, braces may not be absolutely necessary. If it concerns you that badly, consider getting headgear, and that will clear your problem right up, but braces are need with that as well. Good luck and I hope I was able to clarify a few things.
How long does it take for braces to correct an underbite?
It really depends on how bad your deep bite is. Obviously, the deeper it is (the bigger overbite you have), the longer it'll take to fix. You'd need to contact an orthodontist to know for sure, but usually you'd need braces for about 1 to 3 years.

Can orothdicst fix inter open bite with bad over-jet?
Yes, of course an orthodontist can fix these problems. I know someone with an open bite, severe overjet and crowding as well as anterior teeth at the back not matching with the top. The orthodontist offered braces and a retainer, but unfortunately surgery was clearly the only option she had. Treatment will be done in 2 stages. With the ortho doing whatever he can to fix the problems to start with in an allocated time. The 2nd stage will be what happens after this meaning surgery or your next option. See your orthodontist, he is the only one who can assess you and correctly tell you what you need.
Can you have pistachios when you get braces?

How do you fix buck teeth?
You'll need to visit your orthodontist and get braces. "Buck teeth" are from over jet or over bite, or both. Braces is the only way to move your teeth back. You'll need to visit an orthodontist. Ask your doctor for a referral. Occasionally, as the jaw grows, the teeth start to fit correctly. Some orthodontists fit an expandable retainer, which reshapes the jaw so that there is space for incoming teeth. There is usually no need to pull baby teeth in advance of permanent teeth--if this is suggested, get another opinion.
