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.

Zhenhua Yang,Yin Ding,Xue Feng +2 more
TL;DR: A nonsurgical combination therapy including facemask and multiloop edgewise archwires and the outcome for a patient with a developing skeletal Class III malocclusion and a long anterior facial height is reported.
Cephalometric study of the upper airways and dentoalveolar height in open bite patients.
Filipe Laranjo,Teresa Pinho +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the width of the upper airway and the lack of overbite is also studied, in order to differentiate between dental open bite and skeletal open bite (SOB).

TL;DR: Satisfactory improvement of the overbite, overjet, sagittal malocclusion, and facial appearance were achieved and good and stable results for open-bite correction at the 2-year posttreatment follow-up were demonstrated.
Mini-implant assisted posterior intrusion: A quantification of anterior bite closure in nongrowing subjects.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the dentoskeletal changes in adults using orthodontic mini-implants in 53 treated patients with anterior open bite (AOB) and provided a predictive model to quantify the achievable intrusion.
