Abstract

Anterior open bite is a complex and multifactorial malocclusion that affects both dental function and aesthetics. The objective of the study was to present a clinical case of anterior open bite (AOB) treatment in a pediatric patient using a lingual trap. A case study was conducted on a 7-year-old girl with AOB, employing a removable orthopedic appliance. The treatment consisted of using a lingual trap to correct the open bite and promote proper mandibular growth, with monthly check-ups and a total duration of 12 months. The results showed a significant improvement in occlusion and dental alignment, as well as in the facial profile. It is concluded that the lingual trap is an effective tool in the treatment of anterior open bite in pediatric patients, highlighting the importance of an integral and personalized approach to achieve successful results
