Open Bite Treatment Evaluation

Dentoalveolar changes during and after anterior open bite treatment in the mixed dentition can be assessed by 3D registration of maxillary digital dental models

Initial digital dental models should be oriented considering the midpalatal raphe and the posterior teeth in the x, y and z planes

Landmark-based registration on the posterior teeth can be used when no significant changes are expected on the molars, for interim or short-term assessments or when the palate region cannot be used. This will show the relative changes of the anterior teeth in relation to the posterior teeth

Registration on the palate using regions of interest, avoiding the most anterior region, can be used for longer follow-ups assessments. This will show the relative changes of the anterior and posterior teeth in relation to the palate
