Abstract |
Recently; the population of orthodontic treatment for adult is increasing at a great
rate. And; orthodontic treatment of open bite malocclusion has been considered a very difficult
problem; especially in adults. Because of the strong relapse tendency in vertical control of
posterior teeth; many treatment trials have been proposed. But; many treatment plans have side
effects like anterior teeth extrusion or deterioration of facial profile. Therefore; the vertical
control of posterior teeth is very important key of treatment in adult open bite malocclusion.
Without intermaxillary elastics or surgery; a good result of orthodontic treatment could be
provided with simple maxillary and mandibular micro-implant anchorage. |
