This article describes a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of a severe skeletal anterior open bite, complicated by severe chronological enamel hypoplasia, in a 12-year-old southern Chinese girl. Correction of the open bite, of which the cause was unknown, involved the extraction of all first permanent molars and provisional repair of the wafer-thin enamel to permit bonding of fixed orthodontic brackets. Several phases of maxillary and mandibular fixed appliance therapy followed. As the open bite resolved, further restorative treatment was performed. The result was stable 3 years after the end of retention. This case demonstrates the benefits of well-planned, integrated, multidisciplinary treatment.
本文描述了对一名12岁中国南方女孩严重骨骼性前牙开（牙合）的多学科治疗方法，该病例伴有严重的发育性釉质发育不全。病因不明的开（牙合）矫治包括拔除所有第一恒磨牙以及对极薄的釉质进行临时修复，以便粘贴固定正畸托槽。随后进行了几个阶段的上下颌固定矫治器治疗。随着开（牙合）问题的解决，进一步进行了修复治疗。保持结束3年后结果稳定。该病例证明了精心规划、综合的多学科治疗的益处。
