New frontiers in open bite treatment with skeletal anchorage

Open bite dento-skeletal cases are difficult clinical situations to correct. They usually require great patient compliance, good orthodontic skill and a correct management along all the treatment time.

One of the most critical factors is the capability to control the molars vertical position by means of intruding forces. Many systems had been suggested to be used in order to be successful, among these, high-pull headgear applied on the molars or combined with activators are the most popular one. They require great cooperation to be effective.

The possibility to use skeletal anchorage allows applying continuous orthodontic forces avoiding patient cooperation, increasing the effectiveness of treatment with most predictable orthodontic outcomes. Mini-screws are easy to be placed with very atraumatic procedure and can be inserted in many narrow bone areas.

These characteristics make the miniscrews an effective system to solve this type of malocclusion with predictable result.

This presentation will show different sites where miniscrews can be placed to obtain an optimal control of the vertical position of molars according to the clinical conditions, bone availability and orthodontic biomechanics selected.

Some cases will be presented to teach the most appropriate orthodontic mechanotherapy for every single situation and to go over the clinical details that are important for the success of treatment.

The role of miniscrews in contemporary orthodontic treatment

When patient cooperation is not available or is missing, the possibility to use skeletal anchorage in form of miniscrew permits the orthodontist to perform the entire orthodontic treatment without patient compliance and still obtaining optimum end results.

This lecture will present how it is possible to combine the use of miniscrew to any type of Edgewise Technique with a simple and logical protocol.

A new system (MGBM System) will be presented to treat class II extraction and non extraction cases by which orthodontic treatment, including upper molar distalization, can be done avoiding the use of extraoral traction and/or class II elastics.

It will be shown also how, with the use of skeletal anchorage in form of miniscrews, asymmetric cases, cant of occlusal plane and difficult cases can be corrected with predictability expanding the frontiers of orthodontic treatment.
