Introduction
Habit is define as fixed or constant practice established by frequent repetition(Dorlan 1957). Sucking is an inherent biological drive observed in-utero. This can either be nutritive or non nutritive(O’ Brien, 1996).
According to Larsson the non-nutritive sucking include those earliest sucking habit adopted by infants in response to stress and to satisfy their and need for contact.

Definition
Digit sucking is defined as the placement of the thumb or one or more fingers in varying depth into the mouth. It is considered a natural early childhood developmental habit. This should be discontinue by age 3-4 years.
April 8, 2023 6
The commonest digit is the thumb.Prevalence;2.1% in 10-15 years old(Isiekwe, 1984)17% in 4-15 years old (Quashie-Williams et al)
April 8, 2023 7
ETIOLOGY
Several theories have been postulated as a possible causes of digit sucking. These include;
Freudy theory,1905;related it to oral phase of psychological development
Benjamin theory 1962;described the rooting reflex Sear and wise 1982; oral drive theory due to prolonged
suckling Davidson 1967 –Learning theory
Others have related it to; stress, family conflict, lack of parental love

Clinical Phases of digit sucking
This is a clinical classification MOYER 1955PHASE I: Seen within the first 3 years of life Normal and sub-clinically significant Prophylactic intervention if it persist. PHASE 11: Extend to 3-6/7 years This is clinically significant Definitive correction is indicated
April 8, 2023 9
PHASE 111:• an intractable sucking• presence of significant problems of
malocclusion exist.

Introduction
Anterior open bite is one of the most difficult orthodontic problems also with difficulty maintaining stability after treatment(Yu-Ching, 2005).
The bite is said to be open when there lack of anterior vertical overlap. A reduction in such overlap would amount to an incomplete bite.
April 8, 2023 30
A prevalence of 2.8%1 was reported among 2-5 year old and thumb sucking was said to be the major cause. In 2008 a prevalence of 4.1%2 was also reported among other cases of malocclusion.
(1Ize-Iyamu, Isiekwe 2012; 2Ajayi 2008)
April 8, 2023 31
Definition
Subtelney and sakuba in 1964 defined it as an open vertical dimension between the incisal edges of the maxillary and mandibular teeth.
It has also been defined as a vertical discrepancy where the upper incisor crown fail to overlap the incisal third of the lower incisor crown when the mandible is brought into full occlusion.

injuries.
April 8, 2023 35
Causes of mouth breathing
Deviated septum and other naso–pharyngeal deformities.
Allergic rhinitis nasal polyps.Enlarged adenoids or tonsils. Abnormally short upper lip preventing proper lip seal.Obstruction in the bronchial tree or larynx.Genetically predisposed individuals Mouth breathing children are breast fed for a Shorter
period of time (Luciana et al. )

Characteristic features of AOB
DENTAL AOBProclined incisorsUnder-erupted incisorHistory of oral habitNarrow maxillary arch(especially with intense
digit sucking habit)
April 8, 2023 37
Features of skeletal open biteExtraoral features: Long face due to increased lower anterior face height Incompetent lips An increased mandibular plane angle An increased gonia! angle Marked antegonial notch Maxillary base may be more inferiorly placed (vertical maxillary excess) Ratio of upper facial height : total facial height is reduced short posterior facial height; PFH:AFH (Jarabak ratio ) less than normal
Intraoral features: Mild crowding with upright incisors Maxillary, occlusal and palatal planes tilt upwards anteriorly Mandibular occlusal plane canted downwards
Gurkeerat Singh, 2007 •
April 8, 2023 38
Understanding the pathophysiology
Physiologic AOB this is a natural phenomenon that occur during
the mixed dentition stage. Incomplete eruption of the maxillary anterior create the opening in the anterior segment. It should completely overlap on full eruption
April 8, 2023 39
Dental AOB
Oral habit especially digit(thumb sucking) has been reported to be a major cause of AOB(Ize-yamu, 2012).
Habitual position of the digit between the anterior teeth causes a dis-occlusion of the posterior segment which causes a supra-eruption of the molars and infra-occlusion of the anteriors. The intensity of the habit results in other features; high narrow palate, procline incisor, spacing etc.
Gurkeerat Singh, 2007
April 8, 2023 40
Skeletal AOB1The maxilla grows downward and forward due to
forward growth of the anterior cranial with contribution from sutural growth. Mandibular growth is also downward and forward with backward rotation.
2The growth at the head of the condyle occurs in an upward and backward direction. This compensate for the vertical displacement of the mandible.
1Profitt ; 2Bishara, 2001
April 8, 2023 41
Deficiency in the growth of the condyle would lead to uncompensated mandibular downward and forward growth.
Bjork in 1969 outline seven(7) features to help predict abnormal rotation of the mandible which might lead to an open bite.

History Clinical examination
InvestigationClinical records
Treatment options
April 8, 2023 44
History
Age; it is a transitional when transiting from the
deciduous to the mixed dentition period. habits(frequency, duration, intensity, number of
digit or use of pacifier) have been implicated as a major cause in younger children while abnormal skeletal growth becomes more important as a cause in the adolescent age
Adenotonsilitis common among mouth breathing children
April 8, 2023 45
Chief complaint esthetics; possibility of incompetent lips function; biting, speech defectsr/o any traumatic injury that can cause pathological
fractureMedical condition; obstructive sleep apnae could cause mouth breathing Arthritic degeneration of the TMJ could alter condylar
growth.Others include allergies, rhinitis etc.
April 8, 2023 46
Clinical examination
General examination: a quick general appraisal should be performed. Examine patient digits if sucking is suspected.
Extra-examination: lip: presence of separated lips due to the
proclined incisors facial profile: long lower anterior faceSkeletal pattern: could be 1,2 or 3.
April 8, 2023 47
Intra-oral examination: inspect the extent of the AOB unilateral or bilateral symmetrical or asymmetrical measure the vertical discrepancy
*A typical thumb-sucker has a malocclusion characterized by an asymmetric anterior open bite due to digit position
and a transverse constriction of the maxillary arch.(Peter N and Henry w,1997; chui shan teresa et al, 2008)
April 8, 2023 48
Investigation and diagnostic records
Clinical photograph(intra- and extra-oral) taken to aid planning and also for medical legal reasons
Impression for study model; to assess arch width and amount of space
present space analysisRadiograph; dental panoramic radiograph and
lateral cephalometry
April 8, 2023 49
Lateral cephalometry and OPG
April 8, 2023 50
Bjork in 1969 identified cephalometric features of significant abnormal growth rotation of open bite.
Kim, 1974 also provided information on behavior of vertical relationships using what he called Overbite Depth Indicator (ODI).
April 8, 2023 51
diagnosis
This could either be a dental or skeletal anterior open or a combination.
Patients with skeletal AOB would present with discrepancies in their cephalometric values.
April 8, 2023 52
Aims of treatment
To achieve a vertical overlapImprove estheticsImprove functionMaintain a stable results
April 8, 2023 53
Treatment modalitiesIn general, four treatment modalities are used
by surgeons and orthodontists in the treatment of anterior open bite:
1.advice on early problems and observation2. interceptive treatment3. camouflage treatment by orthodontics only4. a combined orthodontic and surgical
approach(CHUI SHAN TERESA , 2008).
The first 3 constitute the non-surgical mode of treatment.

April 8, 2023 60
REWARD
this is a kind of positive re-enforcement. the children are encouraged with a gift the day
they do not display the habit
April 8, 2023 61
HABIT BREAKERS-REMINDER THERAPY:
depends on the habit indicated for those who are willing to quit but
the habit has entered a subconscious level; they involve:

Bluegrass ApplianceThe Bluegrass Appliance is a fixed tongue retraining
device used forpatients with a mixed or permanent dentition. It is an
alternative to the
Rake or Crib design.
April 8, 2023 65
Tongue crip
The Tongue Crib appliance has a vertical gate inhibiting the access of the tongue to the anterior dentition.
April 8, 2023 66
INTERCEPTIVE
April 8, 2023 67
Vertical holding appliance:
It is a modified transpalatal arch with an acrylic pad. It utilizes the tongue pressure to prevent dentoalveolar development of maxillary permanent first molars
April 8, 2023 68
Vertical chin cup
result in a decrease in mandibular plane angleAnterior rotation due to inhibition of mandibular
posterior dento-alveolar segmentIncrease in total anterior facial and lower
anterior facial height.However there is poor compliance
April 8, 2023 69
Posterior bite blocks
The blocks(acrylic) are usually set at a slightly elevated position vertically, so that, the stretched muscles place an intrusive force on the posterior teeth, which in turn helps control eruption and permits an upward and forward autorotation of the mandible.
Several modifications exist: application of spring, use of repelling magnets
April 8, 2023 70
Active vertical corrector(Dellinger)
A modified posterior bite blocks with repelling magnet incorporated into the acrylic. Has embedded in it eight opposing field (four per arch) cobalt samarium magnets
Causes intrusion of the molars, allowing the mandible to rotate upward and forward.
Compliance is a factor due to the challenge and duration(4–7 months) of wear.
April 8, 2023 71
Vertical pull chin cup Posterior bite blocks
April 8, 2023 72
High pull headgear
April 8, 2023 73
Functional appliances
Base on the possibility that faulty postural activity of the oral-facial musculature can also cause AOB hence, functional appliances modifying growth. They iclude;
Functional regulator 1VTeuscher activatorStockfisch activator
April 8, 2023 74
Corrective treatment option
April 8, 2023 75
Camouflage treatment
Some cases of open bite can be corrected by fixed appliances that cause dental movements while the skeletal profile and characteristics are kept unchanged.
This may be accompanied with extractions, use of elastics, or application of mini-implants or miniplates.
April 8, 2023 76
extractions
Extraction of premolars have been advocated due to the draw-bridge effect of reducing the inclination of the maxillary and mandibular incisors.
Pearson (1973) reported that a significant increase in the lower posterior facial height can occur during extraction therapy of moderately steep cases.
Molar extraction have been said to remove the wedge created by the supra0eruption of the molars.
April 8, 2023 77
Here retraction of the incisor results in relative extrusion of the incisor as it rotate around its centre of resistance, increasing the bite.
April 8, 2023 78
Elastics
The multi-loop edgewise arch wire(MEAW) is an example.
Involves use of multi-loop wire and vertical elastics on the canine region.
Aim of technique:Correcting the inclination of the occlusal planealigning the maxillary incisors relative to the lip linemaking the axial inclinations of the posterior teeth
upright.
April 8, 2023 79
Treatment changes occur mainly by a dentoalveolar compensation mechanism that causes retraction and extrusion of the anterior teeth and an upright movement of the
posterior teeth. Thus, the upper and lower occlusal planes move towards each other.
There is only minimal skeletal changes
April 8, 2023 80
Temporary anchorage devices
These includeMiniplatesMinisrews MicroscrewsThey provide absolute anchorage for intrusion of
the molars
April 8, 2023 81
Adjunctive treatment
a. Reduction and fixation of fracture injuries e.g. repair of Le Fort and condylar injuries
b. Alignment of deviated nasal septumc. Adenotonsillectomyd. Glossectomy
April 8, 2023 82
conclusion
Anterior open bite is considered to be one of the most difficult clinical encounter by orthodontists. Proper diagnosis and treatment planning, successful treatment, and retention have been stressed for the long-term stability of open bite treatment.
