Abstract

Dental anterior open bite associated with decreased incisor dentoalveolar height. The occlusal planes in the dental anterior open bite usually diverge from the mesial to the first premolar forward. The outcome of this case report describe a notabletreatment of dental anterior open bite. Here a male patient aged 22 years presented 4.2 mm anterior open bite along with increased lower anteriorfacial height. Other features are as follows - competent lip, deficient incisor display during rest and smile, fractured enamel of both upper central incisors. Treatment was carried outby extrusion of both upper and lower incisors with camouflage non-extraction therapy followed by composite buildup of fractured upper central incisors. There was no recurrence of anterior open bite, and balanced occlusion was maintained during the follow up of next 2 years after treatment completion which suggest a long term stability of occlusion.
