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.

Stability of anterior openbite correction with multiloop edgewise archwire therapy: A cephalometric follow-up study
TL;DR: Analysis of the posttreatment and follow-up cephalometric radiographs proved that the treatment results obtained by this therapy were very stable and the changes in overbite during the 2-year follow- up period were not significant.
Biomechanical analysis for different mandibular total distalization methods with clear aligners: A finite element study
Sewoong Oh,Youngjin Choi,Sung-Hun Kim,Ching-Chang Ko,ki Kim,Yong Il Kim +5 more
TL;DR: The initial tooth displacement can vary according to differentdistalization strategies for CAT-based total distalization, and the elastic deformation of clear aligners is attributed to unintentional lingual tipping or extrusion of the mandibular anterior teeth.
Effects of maxillary molar intrusion with zygomatic anchorage on the stomatognathic system in anterior open bite patients
TL;DR: Intrusion of the maxillary posterior teeth with zygomatic anchorage is an effective treatment alternative for anterior open bite correction and the stomatognathic system at T0 was maintained at T1.
Midpalatal miniscrews and high-pull headgear for anteroposterior and vertical anchorage control: cephalometric comparisons of treatment changes.
TL;DR: In both the anteroposterior and vertical directions, a modified transpalatal arch supported by 2 midpalatal miniscrews provided more stable anchorage.

TL;DR: There was no statistically significant decrease of the obtained anterior overbite at the end of the posttreatment period and the primary factors that contributed to the nonsignificant decrease were the normal vertical development of the maxillary and mandibular incisors, and the consequent smaller increase in lower anterior face height, as compared with the control group in the long-term post treatment period.
