    Summary

    This study presents a novel management technique for scissor bite, a dental occlusion defect. A modified transpalatal arch effectively corrected scissor bite in two cases, avoiding common complications like molar extrusion.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Craniofacial Biology

    Background:

    • Scissor bite, a malocclusion where upper teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively, can lead to temporomandibular disorders.
    • Conventional orthodontic treatments for scissor bite, such as interarch elastics, may cause undesirable molar extrusion and vertical dimension increase.
    • Effective management strategies are crucial to prevent long-term dental and functional issues.

    Observation:

    • Two patient cases with scissor bite were treated using a modified transpalatal arch appliance.
    • This approach aimed to correct the occlusal relationship without inducing significant vertical changes.
    • Clinical observations focused on the efficacy of the appliance in resolving the scissor bite defect.

    Findings:

    • The modified transpalatal arch successfully corrected the scissor bite in both cases.

  • No significant molar extrusion or increase in vertical dimension was observed post-treatment.
  • The appliance provided a stable and effective solution for the presented scissor bite malocclusion.

    • Implications:

    • Modified transpalatal arches offer a viable alternative for scissor bite correction, mitigating risks associated with traditional methods.
    • This technique may help prevent temporomandibular disorders by establishing proper occlusion.
    • Further research can explore the long-term stability and broader applicability of this orthodontic approach.
