NCT02925468 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 38

Last updated 2020-08-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The correction of a deep overbite is assumed to involve incisor intrusion and the extrusion or eruption of premolars and molars. The latter is also assumed to be the major contributor for growing patients where the vertical facial growth increase accommodates for the additional eruption of posterior teeth with anterior bite plane appliances.

In this study the nature and rate of adaptation of the occlusal changes following insertion of a fixed anterior bite plane for the reduction of a deep overbite in growing patients will be investigated.

Conditions

  • Increased Overbite

Interventions

DEVICE

Bite turbo

In this study the nature and speed of adaptation of the occlusal changes following insertion of an anterior bite plane (bite turbos) for the reduction of a deep overbite in growing patients will be investigated.
