The subject of
“Open Bites” is discussed and numerous solutions presented which require
no more than an understanding of the mechanics presented in Common
Sense Mechanic.
Understand easily produced force systems in a manner that will
provide the opportunity for open bite corrections in numerous
situations involved in the daily practice of orthodontics.
Understand why force systems associated with particular types of
tooth movement, often result in anterior
or posterior open bites during orthodontic tooth movement. Such
open bite creation is predictable and therefore avoidable.
The advantage of archwire removal is
demonstrated and should lead to the routine removal of archwires in every patient regardless of the
severity of the malocclusion. The functional and environmental
influences will be fully appreciated when archwire
removal becomes a routine part of orthodontic treatment.
The days of
permanent retention should come to an end.
