  • Title: Open-bite treatment with vertical control and tongue reeducation.
    Author: Garrett J, Araujo E, Baker C.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2016 Feb; 149(2):269-76. PubMed ID: 26827984.
    Abstract:
    An open-bite malocclusion with a tongue-thrust habit is a challenging type of malocclusion to correct. A 12-year-old girl came for orthodontic treatment with a severe anterior open bite, extruded posterior segments, a tongue-thrust habit, and lip incompetency. Her parents refused surgical treatment, so a nonextraction treatment plan was developed that used palatal temporary skeletal anchorage devices for vertical control and mandibular tongue spurs to reeducate the tongue. Interproximal reduction was also used to address the moderate to severe mandibular crowding. An abnormal Class I occlusion was achieved with proper overbite and overjet, along with a pleasing smile and gingival display.
