Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate treatment effects of the magnetic active vertical corrector appliance (AVC) when used to treat anterior openbites in a sample of growing patients. Twenty-five patients with a mean age of 10 years 8 months underwent AVC treatment for an average of almost 8 months. They had an average of 3 mm of anterior openbite closure during the treatment period, primarily due to maxillary and mandibular molar intrusion. Additional contributions to correction of the openbite were related to maxillary incisor eruption and lingual tipping combined with mandibular incisor lingual movement. A small amount of mandibular rotation with closure of the bite and decrease in anterior force height was observed. Anteroposterior skeletal change attributed to the AVC therapy was minimal.
