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.

This paper describes an adult Saudi male patient who presented with a severe skeletal class II deformity. The case was managed with a combination of presurgical orthodontic treatment followed by a double jaw orthognathic surgery and then another phase of orthodontic treatment for final occlusal detailing. Extraction of the four first premolars was done during the presurgical orthodontic phase of treatment to decompensate upper and lower incisors and to give room for surgical setback of the maxillary anterior segment. Double jaw surgery was performed: bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for 8 mm mandibular advancement combined with three-piece Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy, 6 mm setback of the anterior segment, 8 mm impaction of the maxilla, and 5 mm advancement genioplasty. Although the anteroposterior discrepancy and the facial convexity were so severe, highly acceptable results were obtained, both esthetically as well as occlusally.

This article presents a non-extraction orthodontic treatment case using mini-screws and a modified palatal anchorage plate (MPAP) to intrude the maxillary posterior teeth, and distalize the whole arch dentition and control the extrusion of the maxillary posterior dentition during distalization.

Adequate planning and early treatment of Angle Class II malocclusion with maxillary atresia and anterior open bite provides harmonization of maxillomandibular bone bases in the three planes of space. Orthodontic aligners have emerged as an alternative treatment having the following advantages: being more aesthetic and more comfortable for the patient, less treatment time when they are correctly indicated, less chairside time, less complications, possibility of remote monitoring, easier feeding, and dental hygiene. On the other hand, they offer difficulties to treat adults with severe skeletal Class II malocclusions, posterior crossbite and anterior open bite. Therefore, the objective of this clinical case report is to early correct skeletal Class II malocclusion with maxillary atresia through the use of mechanical orthopedics and devices that help eliminate habits and close the anterior open bite, and later the use of orthodontic aligners to finish the treatment. It was concluded that the early interceptive treatment of malocclusion was efficient to harmonize the bone bases in the anteroposterior, vertical, and transversal directions, changing this malocclusion from high to low complexity and, consequently, highly predictable and with an excellent prognosis for treatment with orthodontic aligners. The treatment with ClearCorrect aligners corrected the occlusion in a shorter period of time when compared to corrective orthodontics and with a high predictability in relation to the virtual setup.

Skeletal Class II malocclusion with mandibular deficiency is one of the most common problems that patients seek treatment. Adult patients with severe skeletal Class II malocclusion need orthognathic surgery for successful treatment. Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is the most often preferred technique for these patients. This case report briefs about two male patient of age 24 years presented with Class II Skeletal relation, mesoprosopic facial form, horizontal growth pattern and Angle’s Class II div 1 malocclusion who were treated with Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) mandibular advancement. The ideal anteroposterior relation was established along with a Class I molar, incisor, canine relationship and ideal overjet, overbite and the overall facial esthetics were significantly improved. Combined surgical-orthodontic treatment aims to obtain a more harmonious facial, skeletal, dental and soft tissue relationship with an added patient self esteem.

A female patient of 26 years reported to the Department of Orthodontics, with a chief complaint of spacing between upper and lower front teeth. Patient has a habit of thumb sucking during night time since last 24 years. On extra oral examination she has mesoprosopic facial form, competent lips, bilaterally asymmetric face, convex profile, acute nasolabial angle, high clinical FMA. Intra oral examination reveals anterior open bite with Angle’s Class I molar relation and class I canine relation, proclined upper and lower anterior teeth slightly crowded. Cephalometrically skeletal class II malocclusion, vertical growth pattern with bidental proclination with 10 mm openbite. Detailing treatment strategies such as bracket repositioning, occlusal adjustment,and elastics were used

The patient presented with it skeletal class II malocclusion characterized by an anterior open bite and maxillary midline deviation. This mixed dentition case was treated orthopedically with MRI appliance to rotate and impact the maxilla. A Bionator was used advance the mandible. The case was completed using Occlus-O-Guide. The result showed that the facial bones and teeth appear in the correct position.

Case report of an adult Bangladeshi male aged 26 years who complained about ineffective chewing of food and unpleasant aesthetic look. The patient was diagnosed to have a 4 mms of anterior dental open bite on skeletal Class I with normal mandibular plane and palatal plane angles. Treatment was orthodontics alone with non-extraction. The main mechanics used to close the anterior open bite, were by the conventional aligning, leveling and arch contraction by standard edgewise technique. The result showed that it was possible to correct the open bite within a short period; however, the appliance was difficult to clean. The treatment was complete after 2 years with positive overbite of 3 mms and acceptable occlusion. The patient was happy with his new appearance and function.
