Farahani M, Farimani RM, Eskandarloo F. Treatment for Severe Class II Open Bite Using a Bonded Hyrax Expander, IZC Mini-Implants, and MEAW Technique in an Adolescent Patient. Case Rep Dent 2023; 2023:8833818. [PMID: 37789900 PMCID: PMC10545458 DOI: 10.1155/2023/8833818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
This case report describes the successful 3D treatment of a patient with a narrow maxilla and a severe class II open bite using a combination of a bonded hyrax expander, infrazygomatic crest mini-implants, and the multiloop edgewise arch-wire (MEAW) technique. A 14-year-old female with a thumb-sucking habit in childhood, presented with a severe open bite, a convex profile, and an obtuse nasolabial angle. Diagnosis revealed a skeletal Class II open bite with moderate crowding in the maxillary and mild crowding in the mandibular arch. Treatment objectives included eliminating the open bite, achieving normal overbite and overjet, and improving upper incisor visibility. Treatment involved the use of a bonded rapid palatal expansion device, mini-implants for maxillary intrusion, fixed appliances, vertical elastics, and a MEAW. Treatment results showed resolution of the open bite, improvement in overbite and overjet, achievement of Class I molar and canine relationships, and improved upper incisors visibility. Fixed appliances were used for the whole 22-month therapy period, and post-treatment records demonstrated that the treatment's objectives were met.

Three-Dimensional Analysis of Alveolar Bone Morphological Characteristics in Skeletal Class II Open Bite Malocclusion: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 13:39. [PMID: 36611329 PMCID: PMC9818805 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13010039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
This cross-sectional research evaluated the morphological characteristics of alveolar bone in skeletal class II open-bite individuals compared to skeletal class II and class I non-open-bite individuals. A sample of 82 patients (all were in cervical vertebral stage 6) was divided into three groups (class II OB group, n = 29; class II NOB group, n = 29; class I NOB group, n = 24) according to bilateral molar relationship, ANB angle, and anterior overbite measured by cephalometric analysis. The evaluation was performed with specialized software (Mimics 21.0) and initial cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. The alveolar bone height and thickness of the whole dentition area and alveolar crest level and root apex position of the incisors were measured with a series of appropriate CBCT images. One-way analysis of variance followed by the Tukey post hoc test and the Kruskall−Wallis test were performed for statistical comparisons. The class II open-bite group had increased alveolar bone height for the maxillary first molar and decreased alveolar bone height for mandibular molars compared to the class II non-open-bite group (p < 0.05 for both). Furthermore, there were significant negative correlations between the alveolar bone heights of the upper first and second molars (A6-height, A7-height) and overbite (both p < 0.01). The alveolar thicknesses of all measured teeth were generally reduced in the class II OB group.

[PMID: 30916253 PMCID: PMC6434673 DOI: 10.1590/2177-6709.24.1.088-105.sar] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2018] [Accepted: 12/19/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
A canted occlusal plane is the cause of unaesthetic smile, and also represents a challenge, due to the complex orthodontic procedures involved in its treatment. The skeletal anchorage allows successful treatment of this asymmetry in the majority of cases, with less dependency on the patient cooperation and reducing the necessity of orthognatic surgery. Given this condition, this article aims at discussing the main aspects related to the diagnosis of occlusal plane canting, treatment plan, and orthodontic mechanics using skeletal anchorage either by mini-implants or miniplates. In this context, five cases will be reported, showing the main details related to the orthodontic mechanics used to correct the occlusal plane, avoiding side effects and successfully reaching treatment objectives and long-term stability.

[PMID: 30242441 PMCID: PMC6334723 DOI: 10.1007/s00056-018-0159-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2018] [Accepted: 08/20/2018] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of gingival recession and related factors in teeth with low occlusal function (open bite and infraversion) after orthodontic treatment. Methods From January 2014 to December 2017, 403 patients received orthodontic treatment. Their gingival recession and related factors before and after treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Results The prevalence of gingival recession in patients with infraversion and open bite after orthodontic treatment were 80.6 and 75.0%, respectively; these values were 43.4 and 47.5% before treatment, respectively. Notably, the Miller index of gingival recession increased after orthodontic treatment (P < 0.05). The risk of gingival recession in patients with infraversion or open bite after orthodontic treatment was remarkably higher than the risk in other patients (odds ratio [OR] = 16.712 and 5.073, respectively); the gingival recession rate was related to treatment with tooth extraction (OR = 2.043), as well as gingival biotype (OR = 0.341) and gingival index (GI) before orthodontic treatment (OR = 97.404; P < 0.05). Conclusions Patients with these two types of low occlusal function are more likely to exhibit gingival recession after orthodontic treatment. Moreover, the prevalence of gingival recession after orthodontic treatment is higher among patients who have undergone tooth extraction during orthodontic treatment, and among those who exhibit thin gingival biotype and high gingival index before orthodontic treatment.
