Research Excerpts

Overview

ExcerptReference
"Anterior open bite is often caused by a downward rotation of the mandible and/or by excessive eruption of the posterior teeth."( Katayama, A; Kuroda, S; Takano-Yamamoto, T, 2004)
"Skeletal anterior open bite is one of the most challenging malocclusions to correct because it is difficult to establish absolute anchorage for molar intrusion with traditional orthodontic mechanics."( Kuroda, S; Sugawara, Y; Takano-Yamamoto, T; Tamamura, N, 2007)
"An open bite is commonly one of the main symptoms of an overall dentofacial deformity."( Kocsis, A; Seres, L, 2009)
"Open bite is not a homogeneous group."( Dannhauer, KH; Hierl, T; Krey, KF, 2015)

Treatment

ExcerptReference
"The treatment of anterior open bite with skeletal anchorage provided intrusion of molars and counterclockwise rotation of the mandible, resulting in open bite closure."( Gonçalves, JR; Nakao, CY; Oliveira, TF; Santos-Pinto, A, 2015)
"Severe skeletal open bites may be ideally treated with a combined surgical-orthodontic approach."( Aliaga-Del Castillo, A; Cruz-Escalante, MA; Janson, G; Soldevilla, L; Yatabe, M; Zuazola, RV, 2017)
"Severe skeletal open bite associated with posterior vertical maxillary excess and mandibular deformity is considered a difficult problem in orthodontic and surgical treatment."( Bai, D; Chen, G; Du, W; Fei, W; Luo, E; Xue, C, 2019)
"A 26-year-old man with an anterior open bite was treated with orthodontics combined with 2-jaw surgery."( Gardiner, C; Grubb, J; Papademetriou, M; Park, JH, 2019)
"During treatment of anterior open bite, incisor extrusion may compromise facial esthetics in cases with long facial height and/or sufficient incisor exposure at rest and smile."( Asiry, MA, 2018)
