Active clinical trials for "Open Bite"

Participants are orthodontic patients with anterior open bite (AOB) malocclusion. These patients will be treated by molar intrusion achieved using one of two interventions, either orthodontic fixed appliances incorporating a single palatal Temporary Anchorage Device (TAD) or orthodontic fixed appliances incorporating two buccal TADs

The study evaluates the effects of palatal crib versus bonded spurs in the early treatment of anterior open bite caused by non-nutritive sucking habits.

Anterior open bite (AOB) is a malocclusion that causes aesthetic, speech, feeding, and psychological concerns, emphasizing the significance of beginning treatment as soon as possible to correct the disorder. The main etiological determinants of AOB include finger-sucking, pacifiers, and oral habits; hence, it is vital to use interceptive treatments focused on correcting and increasing bite stability during childhood to avoid the need for advanced therapy

this study is to compare the dental and skeletal changes caused by the intrusion of maxillary first molars buccal miniscrew and TPA versus vertical holding appliance using lateral cephalometry.

This study investigated treatment effects and stability of anterior open bite cases using extrusion arches

This study evaluated the efficacy of rapid molar intruder (RMI) in treating anterior open bite in the mixed dentition. The study sample consisted of 40 patients who had a skeletal anterior open bite. The sample was allocated randomly into two groups: the RMI group and the control group. The skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue changes occurring after treatment were assessed by using lateral cephalometric images.

The aim of the current study was to evaluate and quantify the cephalometric changes produced by maxillary and mandibular extrusion arches in closure of anterior open bite in non-growing patients.

This study will aim to evaluate the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the dentofacial structures in patients with anterior open bite (AOB).

A Randomized clinical trial comparing two different force magnitudes in maxillary posterior segment intrusion in adult patients with skeletal open bite malocclusion

This prospective clinical study will evaluate the effect of high pull headgear for molar intrusion, compared with the control group, in adolescent patients with open bite malocclusion. The study sample will consist of 24 patients with anterior open bite divided equally in two groups. The sample will be collected consecutively from patients attending the Orthodontic Department at Damascus university. A modified version of the OBA (Open Bite Appliance),introduced by Erverdi and Usumez, will be applied for all patients. High pull headgears will be used in the first group, while, in the second (control) group, Open Bite Appliances will be used only. The skeletal and dentoalveolar changes occurring after intrusion of posterior teeth will be assessed by using posteroanterior and lateral cephalometric radiographs; pre- and post- treatment changes for each group will be evaluated.
