Q

what happens when leveling the curve of spee

A
  • maxillary incisors have been intruded
  • leveling the lower arch by incisor intrusion
  • extrusion of mandibular posterior teeth

Q

what do you do with an overbite with mandibular incisor intrustion

A
  • bite opening with posterior blocks
  • intrusion of lower incisors with light wire and constant force
  • upper incisors are left at the same level

Q

what are the treatment options for extrusion of posterior segments combined with maxillary incisor intrusion

A
  • bite plate at night
  • lower intrusion arch
  • cervical pull HG to correct class II molar relation, extrude molars
  • intrusion arch for maxillary incisors, lower molar eruption with a bite plate

Q

what is the facial type, lip support, lip seal, upper incisor showing at rest, smile line, facial proportions in an open bite

A
  • facial type: variable usually dolychocephalic tendency
  • lip support: altered
  • lip seal: deficient
  • upper incisor showing at rest: variable but usually increased
  • smile line: altered
  • facial proportions: variable
17
Q

what is the dentoalveolar response causing an open bite

A
  • displacement of maxillary incisors in the vertical and AP plane
  • intrusion and proclination of mandibular incisors
  • over eruption of maxillary and/or mandibular molars
18
Q

what is assessed in the occlusal plane analysis

A

the position of posterior and anterior teeth in relation to the functional occlusal plane

19
Q

why is the occlusal plane hard to determine

A

the anterior teeth are often times displaced in the vertical plane

20
Q

what is the DDX for open bite

A
  • anterior tongue posture
  • thumb sucking habit
  • genetics
  • sleep apnea
  • combination
21
Q

what are the parafunctional habits affecting open bites

A
  • thumb sucking
  • anterior tongue posture
  • dentoalveolar deformation and lack of tooth eruption
22
Q

what are the tx options for a thumb sucking pt

A
  • fixed appliances
  • tongue crib
  • psychological support
  • myofunctional therapy
23
Q

what is the AOB neuromuscular origin

A
  • anterior tongue posture
  • maxillary incisors pushed labially
  • mandibular incisors under erupted
  • good posterior occlusion
  • good facial balance
24
Q

what is the ismar modified appliance used for

A

open bites

25
Q

what is the dx for class III open bite

A
  • moderate maxillary retrognathia
  • moderate mandibular prognathism
  • dental crowding with blocked out canines
