This document discusses open bite, including its classification, etiology, management, and conclusion. Open bite is defined as a lack of vertical overlap between the maxillary and mandibular teeth. It can be classified as skeletal, dental, anterior, or posterior. Causes include abnormal growth patterns, habits like digit sucking, tongue size/position, and airway obstruction. Management depends on the cause and involves controlling habits, eliminating dysfunctional muscle activity, and using appliances to redirect growth or intrude posterior teeth. Timely treatment is important.
The document discusses the classification, etiology, diagnosis and management of open bite malocclusions. Open bite can be classified based on the region involved, etiological factors, molar relationship and degree of clinical involvement. Common etiologies include thumb/digit sucking habits, tongue thrusting and mouth breathing. Management involves correcting habits, guiding growth in mixed dentition, and fixed appliances with or without surgery in permanent dentition depending on the skeletal versus dental components. Treatment aims to close the bite through mechanics like elastics, activators or myofunctional appliances combined with orthodontics or orthognathic surgery if needed.
This document discusses different types of vertical malocclusions, including open bite, anterior open bite, posterior open bite, and deep bite. It defines each condition and describes their causes such as thumb sucking habits, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, and genetic factors. Treatment options are provided for each malocclusion, including removing the underlying cause, orthodontic therapy using appliances like headgear or elastics, functional appliances, surgery, and correcting infraocclusions with crowns. Deep bite is classified as skeletal or dental, and treatment involves intruding or extruding teeth with removable, fixed, or myofunctional appliances.

The document discusses the orthodontic management of open bite cases. It covers conditions like long face syndrome, posterior growth rotation, and anterior and posterior open bites. Managing high angle and open bite cases can be difficult as the underlying skeletal issues are not always clear. Open bites can be anterior or posterior and have multiple etiological factors, both hereditary and non-hereditary like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. Mouth breathing associated with nasal obstruction is a significant cause that can result in skeletal open bites and long face syndrome.
This document discusses the management of open bite malocclusions. It begins by defining open bite and classifying it as either skeletal or dental in nature. Skeletal open bite is caused by excessive vertical growth of the jaws while dental open bite is due to reduced incisor height. Common etiologies of open bite include thumb sucking habits, tongue thrusting, and abnormal skeletal growth patterns. The document outlines various treatment approaches for different open bite classifications and etiologies.

About NPR RSS Feeds
NPR news and information is available through RSS feeds, which use a technology
called XML to deliver headlines and summaries to your desktop or Web browser.
Many NPR Member stations also provide local and regional RSS feeds. RSS feeds are different from
podcasts; they do not contain audio.
To use RSS, copy the feed address and paste it into an RSS news reader (see the list of compatible
readers to the right), or use a browser which supports RSS feeds, such as Safari for Mac OS X.
Viewing of these feeds is subject to NPR's RSS terms
of use.
