Summary

Surgical correction is necessary for open bite with vertical facial skeletal excess, as orthodontics alone is insufficient. This study presents two surgical procedures and discusses follow-up results for mandibular malocclusion.

Background:

Open bite, a malocclusion, often presents with vertical facial skeletal excess.
Orthodontic treatment alone is frequently inadequate for correcting this complex condition.

Observation:

This study focuses on cases where open bite is associated with vertical facial skeletal excess.
Two distinct surgical procedures designed for mandibular malocclusion correction are detailed.

Findings:

The presented surgical techniques offer viable solutions for open bite with vertical excess.
Follow-up investigations provide data on the outcomes and efficacy of these surgical interventions.

Implications:

Surgical intervention is a critical component in managing severe open bite cases with specific skeletal patterns.
These procedures can significantly improve occlusal and facial aesthetics in affected patients.
