Anterior open bite treated with myofunctional therapy and palatal crib, a case report
Asiry, Moshabab A . 2015
This case report demonstrates the treatment effects of palatal crib combined with the myofunctional therapy in a child with anterior open bite (AOB) due to thumb sucking and habitual anterior and low tongue position. The patient, an 11-year-old boy, had an anterior open bite and flared and spaced upper and lower incisors.Palatal cribs in conjunction with myofunctional therapy were used to discourage sucking habit and to adapt normal tongue position.Successful correction of the AOB with adequate overjet and overbite were achieved with total treatment timeof 7 months. The importance of myofunctional therapy in adopting normal tongue position and in maintaining the stability of open bite correction is emphasized.
