Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the long-term stability and satisfaction of adult patients with anterior open bite (AOB) after orthodontic treatment, focusing on factors related to both patients and practitioners.
- Data collected included patient characteristics and treatment methods, with stability assessed through intraoral photographs and satisfaction measured via questionnaires, covering various treatment approaches and retention options.
- Results indicated that overall treatment stability was high across different methods, with higher stability linked to factors like extractions and initial tooth positioning, while patient satisfaction remained consistently high, regardless of the type of retention used.
Introduction: Anterior open bite (AOB) continues to be a challenging malocclusion for orthodontists to treat and retain long-term. There is no consensus on which treatment modality is most successful. This study reports on the overall success rate of AOB orthodontic treatment in the adult population across the United States, as well as 4 major treatment modalities and other factors that may influence treatment success.

Introduction: This aim of this paper is to describe and identify the practitioner and patient characteristics that are associated with treatment recommendations for adult anterior open bite patients across the United States.
Methods: Practitioners and patients were recruited within the framework of the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network. Practitioners were asked about their demographic characteristics and their treatment recommendations for these patients.
Introduction: In this study, we tested the efficacy of a tooth sealant polish (Biscover LV; Bisco, Schaumberg, Ill) to prevent enamel demineralization (white spot lesions) for the full duration of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. The trial design was an alternating-tooth split-mouth design.
Methods: Patients starting treatment with bonded appliances in a private practice were enrolled.
