About this document

Early Orthodontic Treatment of Skeletal Open-Bite Malocclusion by Maria Silva is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This article reviews studies on the early treatment of open bite malocclusions. It analyzed 1049 articles and included 7 studies in the final review. No randomized controlled trials were found. Two controlled clinical trials found early treatment with headgear or functional appliances to be effective. However, most studies had limitations like small sample sizes and lack of statistical rigor. So the evidence was insufficient to draw firm conclusions.
