ABSTRACT A healthy 15-year-old boy with anterior open bite, edge-to-edge transverse discrepancy, and Class III skeletal relationship sought a nonsurgical orthodontic treatment. The patient was treated with premolars extraction, a Hyrax expander and intrusion mechanics with vertical elastics. This mechanics allowed for excellent facial and occlusal results. The final occlusion presented Class I molar and canine relationships, ideal overjet and overbite, and straight facial profile. Analysis of the posttreatment and follow-up radiographs showed that the treatment outcomes remained stable seven years after active orthodontic treatment. Thus, although combined orthodontic and surgical treatment should be considered for patients with this skeletal malocclusion, this case report proves that well controlled orthodontic movement with the patient’s cooperation can be a valid alternative treatment, with good and stable outcomes for patients who refuse surgery.

Case Report. An 8-year-old girl with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) reported unsatisfactory aesthetics, difficulty in mastication, and dental hypersensitivity. The intraoral examination observed mixed dentition, malocclusion in anteroposterior relationships, anterior open bite, and dental asymmetry. A hypoplastic form of AI was diagnosed in the permanent dentition. A multidisciplinary planning was performed and divided into preventive, orthopedic, and rehabilitation stages. Initially, preventive treatment was implemented, with fluoride varnish applications, in order to protect the fragile enamel and reduce the dental sensitivity. In the second stage, the patient received an interceptive orthopedic treatment to improve cross-relationship of the arches during six months. Finally, the rehabilitation treatment was executed to establish the vertical dimension. In the posterior teeth, indirect composite resin crowns were performed with minimally invasive dental preparation. Direct composite resin restorations were used to improve the appearance of anterior teeth.Follow-Up. The follow-up was carried out after 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. After 18 months of follow-up, The restoration of integrity, oral hygiene, and patient satisfaction were observed .Conclusion. Successful reduction of the dental hypersensitivity and improvement of the aesthetic and functional aspects as well as quality of life were observed.

The dental biprotrusion characteristic of certain ethnic groups raises the question of treatment or of abstaining. In many situations this is accompanied by open bite in relation to the lingual volume or lingual support during pronunciation, the therapeutic solution must be considered and individualized. This article describes the orthodontic treatment of an anterior open bite of functional origin in a 23-year-old adult patient embarrassed by the cosmetic defect.

Abstract BackgroundAppropriate operations in severe anterior open bite (AOB) cases are extremely complicated to perform because of the multiple surgical procedures involved, difficulty of predicting posttreatment aesthetics and high relapse rate.Case reportWe herein report a 16-year-old girl with skeletal Class II, severe AOB malocclusion and crowding with short roots and aesthetic and functional problems. Four-piece segmental LeFort I osteotomy combined with a posterior horseshoe-like osteotomy was performed for maxillary intrusion, and sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and genioplasty were performed for mandibular advancement. The malocclusion and skeletal deformity were significantly improved by the surgical orthodontic treatment. Functional and aesthetic occlusion with an improved facial profile was established, and no further root shortening was observed. Acceptable occlusion and dentition were maintained after a two-year retention period.ConclusionThis strategy of surgical orthodontic treatment with a complicated operative procedure might be effective for managing severe AOB malocclusion.

Gigitan terbuka merupakan maloklusi yang bercirikan tidak terdapatnya tutup menutup gigi rahang atas dan bawah, dapat terjadi pada regio anterior maupun posterior dan dapat melibatkan dental maupun skeletal. Maloklusi ini memerlukan ketelitian dalam penentuan diagnosis dan perawatan untuk mendapatkan hasil perawatan yang baik dan kestabilan jangka panjang. Tujuan penulisan studi kasus ini adalah untuk menginformasikan manajemen pasien dengan gigitan terbuka tipe skeletal. Pasien pria berumur 19 tahun datang ke Klinik Ortodonsia FKG UGM dengan keluhan utama gigi depan yang tidak rata dan tidak dapat digunakan untuk menggigit. Pemeriksaan klinis menunjukkan pasien memiliki kebiasaan menelan dengan menjulurkan lidah. Pemeriksaan model studi menunjukkan maloklusi Angle kelas I dengan gigitan terbuka anterior dari regio premolar kedua kanan ke kiri sebesar 10,7 mm disertai malposisi gigi individual dan pergeseran garis tengah rahang bawah ke kiri. Pemeriksaan sefalometri menunjukkan relasi skeletal kelas II dengan retrusif bimaksila, rotasi mandibula searah jarum jam dan gigitan terbuka skeletal. Pasien menolak tindakan bedah ortognatik sehingga dilakukan perawatan ortodontik kamuflase. Perawatan diawali dengan latihan miofungsional untuk melatih cara penelanan yang benar dilanjutkan dengan perawatan ortodontik teknik straightwire dengan pencabutan empat gigi molar pertama. Penutupan gigitan terbuka menggunakan elastic box anterior. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkanpengurangan besar gigitan terbuka dari 10,7 mm menjadi 1,25 mm. Kesimpulannya elastic box anterior dapat digunakan untuk mengoreksi gigitan terbuka yang etiologinya melibatkan intrusi gigi anterior.  Skeletal Anteroposterior Open Bite Treatment with Straight Wire Technique. Open bite is a malocclusion with characteristic no overlapping between maxillar and mandibular teeth. This malocclusion may occur in anterior or posterior region and involved dental or skeletal. This malocclusion needed precise diagnosis and treatment to get a good treatment result and long term stability. The aim of this case report was to inform management of patient with skeletal open bite. A 19 years old male came to orthodontic clinic Faculty of Dentistry Gadjah Mada University with the chief complaint anterior crowding, and anterior teeth cannot be used to bite. Clinical finding showed patient had tongue thrusting habit. Study model analysis showed class I Angle malocclusion with 10.7 mm anterior open bite from right second premolar to left second premolar, with individual teeth malposition and mandibular midline shifting to the left. Cephalometric finding showed class II skeletal relationship with bimaxillar retrusive, clockwise mandibular rotation and skeletal open bite. This patient refused orthognatic surgery, so he received camouflage orthodontic treatment. This treatment was started with monofunctional exercise to correct the swallowing action then continued with straight wire orthodontic treatment with four first molar extractions. Anterior box elastic was used to close the bite. Evaluation result showed open bite was decreased from 10.7 mm to 1.25 mm. The conclusion was anterior box elastic could be used in open bite correction that involved anterior teeth intrusion as an etiology.

Reported case of a 19 years old male, with Class III malocclusion, bilateral cross bite associated with anterior open bite, which was treated by fixed orthodontic treatment. After treatment there was a class I Molar and incisor relation as well as the open bite was corrected with accepted aesthetic and functional satisfaction of the patient.
