  • Title: Correcting severe scissor bite in an adult.
    Author: Baik UB, Kim Y, Sugawara J, Hong C, Park JH.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2019 Jul; 156(1):113-124. PubMed ID: 31256824.
    Abstract:
    Scissor bite often remains unnoticed by patients although it can adversely affect facial symmetry, jaw growth, and mastication. This case report illustrates the efficacy of temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) and a modified lingual arch in correcting severe scissor bite. A 28-year-old woman presented with severe scissor bite in the mandibular right posterior segment. To treat this condition, TSADs were used for maxillary posterior intrusion and a modified lingual arch for buccally uprighting mandibular posterior teeth. Long-term retention records demonstrate stable treatment results.
