Treatment strategy has drastically changed in orthodontics after the appearance of TAD. Molar intrusion, one of the most difficult tooth movement, has become possible by TAD. The only treatment alternative to open bite was extrusion of anterior teeth before TAD; now, we have obtained treatment strategy of not only anterior teeth extrusion but also molar intrusion with TAD. Also, surgical orthodontics, as usual, is applied to severe open bite as another treatment method.
The diagnosis has become a more important issue in choosing treatment strategies such as anterior teeth extrusion, molar intrusion and surgery. The stability of retention in open bite should be affected by these treatment alterations. Molar intrusion, that is a relatively new treatment method, has not sufficiently demonstrated the retention stability.
We evaluated relation between facial morphology in vertical component and choice of treatment strategy, anterior teeth extrusion, molar intrusion, and surgery with the retrospect study, and also compared the relapse among three treatment strategies.
I would like to share our data information and my treatment opinion with KAO members. It would be great if my lecture could contribute to the daily clinical practice of KAO members even just a little.
