No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Anterior open bite (AOB) is a malocclusion that causes aesthetic, speech, feeding, and psychological concerns, emphasizing the significance of beginning treatment as soon as possible to correct the disorder. The main etiological determinants of AOB include finger-sucking, pacifiers, and oral habits; hence, it is vital to use interceptive treatments focused on correcting and increasing bite stability during childhood to avoid the need for advanced therapy

Conditions
