OPEN BITE TREATMENT WITH INVISALIGN ALIGNERS

When it comes to open bites, whether they are dental, skeletal or both at the same time, I am sure that we all will categorize them as challenging and difficult orthodontic anomalies to treat. After doing countless cases of treating open bites with fixed appliances (brackets and wires) and also with Invisalign aligners I can easily state that my “weapon of choice” for open bite malocclusion is absolutely Invisalign aligners. The biomechanical fact of the aligner is that it’s a “closed system” where teeth are surrounded by the plastic of the aligner. This is giving us a biomechanical advantage in corrections in vertical dimensions. Nevertheless, your biomechanical knowledge and treatment plan concept has to be correct and predictable. Without that all the advantages that aligner is giving us are useless and treatment might end up with a failure. My goal is to show you biomechanical aspects and treatment plan assembly when treating open bites. In my humble opinion the predictability, efficiency, practicality and capability of Invisalign aligners in treating open bites is second to none! Join me in my lecture where I will show you cases, mechanics, attachment, and protocols for treating various open bite malocclusion with Invisalign aligners.
