  • Title: Orthodontic treatment of a complex open-bite malocclusion with temporary anchorage devices: a case report.
    Author: Waldman AB.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 2010 Aug; 38(8):591-600. PubMed ID: 20853731.
    Abstract:
    Orthodontic temporary anchorage devices provide a novel alternative to orthognathic surgery for the treatment of severe anterior open-bite malocclusions. These implantable devices provide skeletal anchorage for maxillary molar intrusion, allowing for mandibular autorotation and subsequent open-bite closure. This case demonstrates step-by-step treatment of a 41-year-old woman with a severe open-bite malocclusion. Detailed orthodontic mechanics are described at every stage of treatment.
