Estudo de Caso Acesso fechado Mordida aberta anterior - estudo de caso(2017) Back, Letícia MeyerDental malocclusion is altered growth and development, with the anterior open bite defined as the negative vertical overlap between the incisal edges of the anterosuperior and inferior teeth. Considered a complex anomaly, difficult to treat and with a high degree of impairment of the facial and aesthetic balance, it generates significant dental and skeletal alterations. The aim of this study is to study a case and review the literature on the etiology and treatment modalities of anterior open bite. In the present study, an infant-juvenile patient with mixed dentition and presence of anterior open bite was selected. In this patient, the interceptive device, McNamara with lingual grid, was installed. After 4 months of use of the orthodontic device, correction of the anterior open bite, improvement in facial harmony and lingual interposition was observed. It is concluded with this work that the treatment of this malocclusion should be performed early and preferably in a multidisciplinary manner. It is of great importance that dentistry professionals know the main etiologies for the development of this malocclusion, since early intervention results in better results and greater stability of the treatment, besides directly interfering in the quality of life of the patient by restoring the correct functioning of the stomatognathic system.
