  • Title: A case of anterior open bite with severely narrowed maxillary dental arch and hypertrophic palatine tonsils.
    Author: Tanimoto K, Suzuki A, Nakatani Y, Yanagida T, Tanne Y, Tanaka E, Tanne K.
    Journal: J Orthod; 2008 Mar; 35(1):5-15. PubMed ID: 18287389.
    Abstract:
    This case report describes an adolescent patient with an open bite and severely narrowed maxillary dentition and hypertrophic palatine tonsils, treated efficiently with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and subsequent orthodontic tooth alignment using fixed appliances. The treatment demonstrates that RME can be effective for the correction of a severely narrowed maxillary arch, as well as, in this case, the correction of an anterior open bite in an adolescent patient where no substantial vertical skeletal discrepancy existed.
