Synopsis

Anterior open bite remains a significant challenge to surgeons and orthodontists in spite of the advances made by both professions. The timing and sequencing of surgery and orthodontics, age of treatment, surgical procedures, role of tongue and lip pressures, neuromuscular adaptation, condylar remodeling, etc. will be discussed especially as it relates to stability.

Learning Objectives
  1. Review the biological and physiological consequences of anterior open bite;
  2. Discuss continued growth, transverse relapse, pre-surgical orthodontic treatment, condyle remodeling, tongue habits, etc. as potentials for relapse;
  3. Review the surgical principles applied to enhance stability of open bite correction; and
  4. Discuss counterclockwise rotation relative to stability of open bite correction.
