Anterior Openbite and its Treatment with Multiloop Edgewise Archwire
253
TL;DR: Cognizance of the anatomy, histology, physiology, and dynamics of orthodontic mechanotherapy can bring most openbite malocclusions into the realm of treatability, with a high degree of success and stability without surgical intervention.

Abstract: Etiologies and various treatment modalities regarding anterior openbite are discussed to elucidate the pros and cons of different approaches, with emphasis on understanding of the true nature of anterior openbite. Subjective interpretation in a diagnosis invariably leads into an erroneous description of a malocclusion, which can lead to a disastrous result. Cognizance of the anatomy, histology, physiology, and dynamics of orthodontic mechanotherapy can bring most openbite malocclusions into the realm of treatability, with a high degree of success and stability without surgical intervention. A Multiloop Edgewise Archwire (MEAW) technic developed over the past nineteen years is introduced, and three illustrative cases are presented.

A case of anterior open bite associated with idiopathic condylar resorption treated with miniscrew-assisted orthodontics
Yuta Matsuki,Masahiro Hiasa,Shigeki Hanawa,Motosumi Nakagawa,Shinya Horiuchi,Eiji Tanaka +5 more
TL;DR: A 20-year-old patient with idiopathic condylar resorption and anterior open bite was successfully treated with miniscrew-assisted orthodontics, achieving a proper facial profile and stable occlusion after 33 months of treatment and 1-year retention.

Skeletal open bite-cephalometric characteristics using quadrilateral analysis
TL;DR: Female openbite sample subjects had a convex profile while males had a straight profile, and Maxillary and mandibular base lengths are smaller in open bite patients than normal occlusion patients.
