ABSTRACT
The term anterior open bite, which means no contact between anterior teeth, stands out in current orthodontic by the complexity of the treatment, associated with high levels of instability and recurrence. The purpose of this study is to emphasize that early etiological diagnosis is essential to the successful outcome of the technical intervention. The bibliographical study shows that, once the malocclusion in deciduous and mixed dentition is diagnosed, it simplifies the aparatology that is used, decreases the treatment time and conditions are created for a possible self-correction. In the permanent dentition, the authors recommend the removal of the etiological factor and the control of the vertical growth. The diversity of causes requires a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach.
RESUMO
A expressão mordida aberta anterior, que designa ausência de contato entre os dentes anteriores, destaca-se na ortodontia atual pela complexidade do tratamento, associada a altos níveis de instabilidade e recidiva. O objetivo deste trabalho é enfatizar que o diagnóstico etiológico precoce é fundamental para o bom resultado da intervenção técnica. O estudo bibliográfico mostra que, diagnosticada a maloclusão na dentadura decídua e mista, simplifica-se a aparatologia utilizada, diminui-se o tempo de tratamento e criam-se condições para uma possível autocorreção. Na dentadura permanente, os autores recomendam a remoção do fator etiológico e o controle do crescimento vertical. A diversidade de causas requer abordagem terapêutica multidisciplinar.
