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.

TL;DR: Satisfactory overbite, overjet and molar relationships were obtained and the facial profile greatly improved after orthodontic treatment, the outcome of which was stable at 24 months’ review.
DAVIT: a multifocal technique for open bite correction
TL;DR: The dual action vertical intra-arch technique (DAVIT) as mentioned in this paper is an innovative noncompliant multifocal mechanics for open bite correction based on simultaneous posterior intrusion and anterior extrusion, which can occur at similar or different rates according to patient's needs.
