THE ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT AND ONE YEAR FOLLOW UP OF AN ADULT CASE WITH SEVERE OPENBITE
Abstract
Anterior open bite is an abnormal condition that is caused by dental, skeletal, functional, and pathological factors in dental arches and jaws. An adult woman having Class I relationship on the right side, Class II relationship on the left side and severe anterior open bite with inadequate maxillary incisor exposure demanded treatment without surgical approach. Treatment was performed with preadjusted edgewise appliances accompanying extraction of maxillary left first premolar. As a result, open bite abnormality was treated with satisfactory esthetic outcome coupled with an ideal overjet and overbite relationship.
