Open-Bite Malocclusion: Treatment and Stability presents the
etiology, treatment, and its stability of anterior open bite
malocclusion in the early, mixed, and permanent dentitions. Special
emphasis is devoted to orthodontic treatment and its stability in
the permanent dentition because this is the time when treatment of
open bite presents greater relapse. Appropriate for clinicians,
orthodontic residents, and dental students, Open-Bite Malocclusion
covers the most simple treatment approaches to the most complex,
from orthodontic devices to tooth extraction to surgery. Unique to
this book is the discussion of post-treatment stability. Drs.
Janson and Valarelli highlight the post-treatment changes and
presents strategies to increase treatment stability. This allows
the clinician to be able to predict the stability probabilities
when treating anterior open bite malocclusions in the permanent
dentition either with or without extraction, orthodontic-surgical
therapy, or with occlusal adjustment.
