ABSTRACT
Open bite has fascinated Orthodontics due to the difficulties regarding its treatment and maintenance of results. This anomaly has distinct characteristics that, in addition to the complexity of multiple etiological factors, have aesthetic and functional consequences. Within this etiological context, several types of mechanics have been used in open bite treatment, such as palatal crib, orthopedic forces, occlusal adjustment, orthodontic camouflage with or without extraction, orthodontic intervention using mini-implants or mini-plates, and even orthognathic surgery. An accurate diagnosis and etiological determination are always the best guides to establish the objectives and the ideal treatment plan for such a malocclusion. This report describes two cases of open bite. At the end of the treatment, both patients had their canines and molars in Class I occlusion, normal overjet and overbite, and stability during the posttreatment period.
RESUMO
A mordida aberta tem fascinado enormemente a Ortodontia devido à dificuldade de tratamento e manutenção da estabilidade. É uma anomalia com características distintas que, além da complexidade dos múltiplos fatores etiológicos traz consequências estéticas e funcionais. De acordo com a etiologia, muitas mecânicas têm sido utilizadas no tratamento da mordida aberta, entre elas, grades palatinas, forças ortopédicas, ajuste oclusal, terapia de camuflagem com ou sem exodontias, intervenção ortodôntica com auxilio de mini-implantes ou mini-placas até a cirurgia ortognática. Considerando que um diagnóstico apropriado e a determinação da etiologia sempre serão os melhores guias para conduzir os objetivos e o plano de tratamento ideal desta maloclusão, dois casos de mordida aberta foram apresentados. Ao final do tratamento ambos os casos apresentaram oclusão de Classe I de caninos e molares, trespasse horizontal (overjet) e trespasse vertical (overbite) normais e na avaliação pós-contenção, mostraram estabilidade.
