Summary

The study evaluates the effects of palatal crib versus bonded spurs in the early treatment of anterior open bite caused by non-nutritive sucking habits.

Conditions

  • Anterior Open Bite

Interventions

DEVICE

Palatal Crib

An intraoral appliance approach can be used as an adjunct method to stop the habit. Appliances consisting of cribs in the anterior region are very efficient as reminders and physical restrainers. The palatal crib works as an obstacle in non-nutritive sucking and maintains the tongue in a more retruded position, halting its interposition between the incisors.

DEVICE

bonded spur

Spur appliances change tongue action, close the open bite, and boost treatment stability, as it induces a permanent modification of the tongue's anterior rest posture by altering orofacial function, resulting in a change in form. Finally, the spur adjusts the sensory input to the brain. This proprioceptive change leads to an altered motor response, resulting in a new normal tongue rest posture (change in function) that allows the incisors to erupt
