Official Title: Evaluation of the Effects of Open Bite Activator and Anterior Skeletal Anchorage-Supported Vertical Elastics on Dentofacial Structures in Skeletal Open Bite Cases
Brief Summary:
This study evaluated a new treatment approach for skeletal open bite in growing individuals using an open bite activator combined with anterior skeletal anchorage-supported vertical elastics.An open bite is a condition where the front teeth don't touch when the back teeth are closed together, creating a gap.Traditional treatments often use extraoral appliances (devices worn outside the mouth), which can be uncomfortable and aesthetically unappealing, leading to poor patient compliance.We included 24 growing…
