ResumoBecause of their multifactorial etiologies, dental and skeletal open bites are among the most difficult malocclusions to treat to a successful and stable result. Etiologic factors include vertical maxillary excess, skeletal pattern, abnormalities in dental eruption, and tongue-thrust problems. The purpose of this article was to report the treatment of an adult patient with a lateral open bite and a unilateral posterior crossbite. The treatment involved nonextraction therapy, including intermaxillary elastics, to obtain dentoalveolar extrusion in the region of the lateral open bite. The treatment results were successful and remained stable 2 years later.

Lateral open-bite treatment and gingival healthAmerican Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial OrthopedicsVol. 138Issue 6PreviewI enjoyed the May case report, “Lateral open bite: treatment and stability” (Cabrera MC, Cabrera CAG, de Freitas KMS, Janson G, de Freitas RM. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2010;137:701-11) and would like to congratulate the authors on achieving an ideal occlusion, specifically moving the maxillary left canine and the first and second premolars buccally out of crossbite.

Lateral open bite: treatment and stability. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2010;137:701-11). This article reported the nonextraction treatment of an adult with a lateral open bite and a unilateral posterior crossbite. The lateral open bite was closed with intermaxillary elastics to obtain dentoalveolar extrusion in the region of the lateral open bite. After 2 years, the results were successful and remained stable.
