Open-bite relapse. Report of a case.

American Journal of Orthodontics

|June 1, 1976

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Tooth positioners can inadvertently cause open-bite relapse by maintaining the occlusal plane, leading to third molar eruption and mandibular rotation. Removing the positioner and third molars effectively corrected the relapse.

Area of Science:

Dentistry

Dental Biomechanics

Background:

Tooth positioners are used to improve dental esthetics and stability.
Orthodontic appliances can influence occlusal plane and mandibular position.

Observation:

A tooth positioner maintained the treated occlusal plane.
Lower third molars erupted above the occlusal plane.
Mandibular rotation occurred, causing a bite opening.

Findings:

The tooth positioner acted as an unintended orthodontic appliance.
Third molar eruption was a key factor in bite opening relapse.
Removal of the positioner and third molars resolved the open bite.

Implications:

Careful consideration of appliance design and duration is crucial in orthodontics.
Third molar eruption can significantly impact treatment outcomes.
Intervention strategies for open-bite relapse involve addressing etiologic factors.
