4. Introduction
www.orthofree.com
Anterior open bite is generally defined as a condition where the upper incisor crowns
fail to overlap the lower incisor crowns when the mandible is brought into full occlusion,
Hence an openbite could range from a mild case of ‘edge to- edge’ incisor relationship to
a severe skeletal open bite with only the molars in contact.
Simple open bites are usually confined to the teeth and
alveolar process where as complex openbites are based primarily on vertical skeletal
dysplasias
.
5. 1-Definition

Skeletal Open Bite: As a result of increased downward and backward
inclination of the mandible, the mandibular angle is increased .
Dentoalveolar open bite: Origin as a result underdevelopment anteriorly of
the maxillary and mandibular alveolar process

AOB in primary teeth caused by pacifier sucking and B) spontaneous correction after removal of
habit. C) AOB in mixed dentition caused by thumb sucking. it is noteworthy how AOB morphology
differs according to causative agent. Pacifier is soft and deformable, creating more elongated and
narrow open bite, whereas finger is stiffer and larger, creating wider, rounded open bite with
protruded maxillary incisors and deficient eruption in mandibular incisors. D) When thumb sucking
habit is so intense the back of the finger may become callous.

d-Tongue thrusting
www.orthofree.com
AOB caused by poor posture of the tongue at rest and lip interposition (A). Cephalometric
radiograph contrast allows the tongue to be viewed in its resting position, supported by the
mandibular incisors, preventing their proper eruption, and the interposition of the lower lip
between the incisors, preventing the proper eruption of the maxillary incisors is also visible

Patients generally exhibit normal facial features with only intra-oral abnormalities related to
the aetiology, eg. Thumb sucking, tongue function/posture. The openbite is generally
confined to the incisor region and maybe asymmetric. In cases of digit sucking the maxillary
arch may also be narrow with proclination of the upper incisors and retroclination of the
lower incisors. In patients with a forward tongue posture proclination and spacing of the
upper and lower incisors is often seen, Esthetically Unattractive Particulary during speech

The Fisher BCA (Bite Closing Appliance) is a maxillary appliance designed to close an open
bite by intruding over- erupted posterior teeth, This appliance, utilizes a bonded posterior
bite plate fitted with 4 special ball-end hooks which attach with closed coil springs to
TADS (temporary anchorage devices) placed in the zygomatic process,When anchored
against the TADS the force of the closed coil springs on the posterior bite plate is directed
in a superior direction affecting the intrusion of posterior teeth., A rapid palatal
expansion option is available. Transpalatal wires (or RPE screw) are positioned a
minimum of 5 mm off of the palate to allow for intrusion

Using reverse-curved archwires to close an anterior open bite. The strong anterior
box elastics prevent the premolars from erupting, while the molars intrude and tip
back and the incisors extrude. These mechanics work quite effectively in a very
short time, but they are heavily dependent on patient cooperation. Elastics must be
worn all day, otherwise the bite may open with quick extrusion of the premolars.

In patients with open bite, the bracket height for the maxillary anterior teeth, which are
out of occlusion, is increased by 0.5 mm. The bracket height for posterior teeth, which are
in occlusion, is decreased by 0.5 mm ], The amount of curve of Spee in the mandibular arch
can be used to determine if any change in bracket height is necessary. If there is significant
reverse curvature to the mandibular occlusal plane, then the bracket heights are adjusted
in both the maxillary and the mandibular arches.

86. Conclusions
• Dental favorable pronostic
• Anterior open-bite in adults is a challenging malocclusion to be treated and many therapies have
been advocated to increase the stability
• Scientific available data on the stability of open-bite treatment provides only weak evidence about
certain treatment modalities, which is not enough to predict the success of clinical choices.
Orthodontic treatment with extractions seemed to be more stable than nonextraction, as well as
one-jaw surgery compared with bimaxillary surgery. The available data on TADs is still scarce.
Nevertheless, the decision to treat with orthognathic surgery is not limited to the malocclusion,
because it also addresses correction of dentofacial deformities that will improve facial aesthetics.
• Anterior open bite is considered a malocclusion that still defies correction,
• especially in terms of stability. The literature reports numerous studies on the subject
• but with controversial and conflicting information. Disagreement revolves around
• the definition of open bite, its etiological factors and available treatments. It is probably
• due to a lack of consensus over the etiology of anterior open bite that a wide range of
• treatments has emerged, which may explain the high rate of instability following the
• treatment of this malocclusion.

A, Placement of microscrew implants into palatal alveolar bone between first and second
molars. Intrusive force was applied from microscrew implants to hooks on transpalatal bar,
placed to prevent linguoversion of maxillary molars. B, Microscrew implants between
mandibular first and second molars from which intrusive force was applied, and lingual arch to
prevent buccal tipping of molars.

Anchorage
JCO/MAY 2013 ,Wilmes, Nienkemper, Ludwig, Nanda, and Drescher
Mousetrap appliance design and mechanics: one or two lever arms connect to palatal
plate, anchored by two mini-implants in anterior palate. In passive state, distal ends of
lever arms are located cranial to centers of resistance of molars. By pulling lever arms
downward and connecting them to molars, constant intrusive force is produced.

125. Aetiological factors include:
• 1. Heredity
• 2. Environmental Factors
• (a) Thumb, finger or foreign body sucking
• (b) Abnormal tongue function; however there are varying opinions with some
believing it is a cause of the openbite, while others see it as adaptive (Straub
1960, Tulley 1964)
• (c) Trauma or pathology to one or both condyles
• (d) Neurologic disturbances
• (e) Iatrogenic factors, e.g. extruding molars during treatment
• (f ) Airway pathology. An oral breathing pattern is generally considered to be an
aetiological factor, although earlier studies have shown that only minor infl
uences on vertical and transverse jaw dimensions occur in humans who are
mouth breathers.

137. Dentoalveolar class III treatment using retromolar miniscrew
anchorage third molar extractions
we report the successful use of miniscrews in the distalization of the lower dentition to correct an A
locclusion with lower anterior crowding in a dolichofacial adult patient. Conventional intraoral and
ppliances have many disadvantages, including the need for patient cooperation, potential for ancho
ertical extrusion of upper molars and lower incisors. Extrusion should be prevented or minimized wh
ng-faced patients with reduced overbite. After third molar extractions, miniscrews were placed in th
area. A sliding jig was applied to distalize the lower molars, while the anterior teeth were bonded a
econdarily to avoid round tripping. After 18 months of treatment, molar and canine class I relations
al overjet and overbite were achieved. In addition, there was an esthetic improvement in the profile
l increase of the lower anterior facial height. These results remained stable at a 12-month follow-up
