Treatment of Anterior Open Bite with a Mini-Implant-Supported Tongue Crib
Volume 51 : Number 1 : Page 0 : Jan 2017
Anterior open bite is attributable to a combination of skeletal, dental, soft-tissue, and habitual factors. Retained infantile swallowing and tongue-thrust habits are the main causes, but other possibilities include unfavorable growth, heredity, pacifiers and digital habits, enlarged lymphatic tissue, and improper tongue function and posture. Treatment strategies aimed at these different etiologies include behavior modification, orthodontic correction alone, and various combinations of orthodontic and orthopedic or orthodontic and surgical correction.
