Treatment of anterior open-bite using zygomatic anchorage: a 10-year follow-up case report

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.

Background: Orthodontic treatments of skeletal open bite are among the most challenging and at high relapse. Available therapies vary from behaviour-modifying appliances in growing patients to surgical approach in adults. Recently, clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, have also been proposed as a treatment modality, to be used alone or in combination with temporary anchorage devices. Case report: A 19-year-old female presented with 3-mm anterior open bite, peg-shaped upper lateral incisors, incorrect tongue posture at rest and during function. Due to aesthetic request, an orthodontic camouflage with Invisalign® was carried out for 17½ months, along with myofunctional therapy and composite veneers on upper lateral incisors. During the first months of retention, intermaxillary vertical elastics were maintained at night-time as positive feedback to the tongue. A 5-year follow-up confirmed stability of the results. Conclusions: A system of clear aligners in combination with myofunctional therapy was effective in the treatment of a skeletal open bite malocclusion, with stability at 5 years. The closure of the anterior open bite was obtained through a combination of lower molar intrusion, incisor extrusion and counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. In selected cases of optimal compliance, Invisalign® may constitute a feasible treatment option in management of open bite in non-growing patients.

The present case report describes a conservative and uncommon treatment for class III malocclusion in a woman growing patient with aged eight years and four months. An unconventional treatment modality was used for the treatment of this malocclusion, reverse-pull headgear and distalisation of lower teeth using mandibular cervical headgear in the lower arch. At the end of the treatment (after 33 months), there was correction of the transversal and sagittal occlusal relationship between maxilla and mandible and correct dental intercuspation.

Defined as a rare type I acrocephalosyndactyly syndrome which is clinically characterized by dysmorphic facial features, craniosynostosis, and severe syndactyly of the hands and feet, Apert Syndrome represents an autosomal dominant inheritance which occurs due to the gene mutations in the receptors of the fibroblast growth factor. Oral lesions include tooth crowding, reduction in the size of the maxilla, impacted teeth, anterior open-bite, ectopic eruption, delayed eruption, thick gingiva and supernumerary teeth. The present case report describes a 58 year old female patient reported with the features of Apert’s syndrome such as dysmorphic facial features, occular anomalies, syndactyly and oral features. The case was referred to a specialized centre of clinical care for further treatment.
