  • Title: Anterior open bite correction using bite block: a case report.
    Author: de Barros RT, Câmara PP, Aloise AC, Siqueira DF, Paranhos LR, Torres FC.
    Journal: Int J Orthod Milwaukee; 2012; 23(2):11-5. PubMed ID: 22873018.
    Abstract:
    Several etiological factors that result in dental and/or skeletal alterations make the open bite a type of malocclusion with several treatment alternatives. Corrective fixed orthodontics in conjunction with mechanical or functional orthopedics is a routine approach in correcting this problem. However, orthosurgical treatment must never be discarded for cases with skeletal involvement. This article describes a clinical case which, despite involving skeletal aspects, was treated satisfactorily using a passive bite-block appliance in conjunction with corrective fixed orthodontics.
