MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH OPEN BITE MALOCCLUSION IN THE RETENTION PHASE
All were clinically examined for evaluation of facial images, plaster models of the jaws, as well as for exploration of the lateral cephalograms of the head with a notion of the type of facial skeleton growth, and functional condition of the muscles of the dentognathic system.

Summary: | All were clinically examined for evaluation of facial images, plaster models of the jaws, as well as for exploration of the lateral cephalograms of the head with a notion of the type of facial skeleton growth, and functional condition of the muscles of the dentognathic system. Evaluation of results was done 12 months after the retention phase using clinical, as well as laboratory research methods (electromyography and occlusal analysis). To preserve the results of the treatment of open bite malocclusion in patients with the vertical type of growth with decreased function of masticatory and mimic muscles of the maxillofacial area, we developed orthodontic retention (Fig. 2) [18]. To provide an effective treatment of the open bite occlusion it is necessary to correctly determine the magnitude, direction and application site of the orthodontic effort vector, which is achieved by methods of mechanical - mathematical modelling. |
