Abstract
Orthognathic Surgical Treatment of Patient with High Angle Growth Pattern and Skeletal Open Bite Malocclusion: A Case Report
Highlights
Skeletal open bite is one of the most difficult problems to treat ortodontically [1,2]
The true skeletal open-bite patient would require a combination of orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery to achieve ideal occlusion, acceptable esthetics and improved function [5]
This case shows a successful treatment of skeletal open bite, whose magnitude demanded an orthodontic – surgical treatment for reestablishment of ideal occlusion and adequate facial esthetics
Summary
Skeletal open bite is one of the most difficult problems to treat ortodontically [1,2]. The true skeletal open-bite patient would require a combination of orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery to achieve ideal occlusion, acceptable esthetics and improved function [5]. This case shows a successful treatment of skeletal open bite, whose magnitude demanded an orthodontic – surgical treatment for reestablishment of ideal occlusion and adequate facial esthetics. This case is characterized by using only splint unlike other done double-jaw orthognathic surgery.
