Abstract
Enhancing aesthetics, occlusion and functions is a primary motivation for individuals with open-bite malocclusion seeking orthodontic treatment. Open-bite malocclusion, characterized by a lack of vertical overlap of the anterior teeth, can be effectively treated using anterior vertical elastics. It’s a common, non-surgical orthodontic approach to correct open-bite issues. In this case report, we present the treatment of a male patient with anterior open-bite malocclusion. Initially, the patient underwent a lingual frenectomy followed by an active and passive phase of swallowing rehabilitation by wearing a nocturnal lingual envelope (NLE). Subsequently, a fixed orthodontic appliance was bonded to achieve well-aligned arches, normalize the overjet and overbite with the use of anterior vertical elastics (AVE) and enhance both aesthetics and functions.
