Several etiological factors that result in dental and/or skeletal alterations make the open bite a type of malocclusion with several treatment alternatives. Corrective fixed orthodontics in conjunction with mechanical or functional orthopedics is a routine approach in correcting this problem. However, orthosurgical treatment must never be discarded for cases with skeletal involvement. This article describes a clinical case which, despite involving skeletal aspects, was treated satisfactorily using a passive bite-block appliance in conjunction with corrective fixed orthodontics.
导致牙齿和/或骨骼改变的多种病因使开牙合成为一种有多种治疗选择的错牙合类型。矫治性固定正畸结合机械或功能性正畸是矫正此问题的常规方法。然而，对于涉及骨骼问题的病例，绝不能放弃正颌外科治疗。本文描述了一个临床病例，尽管涉及骨骼方面，但使用被动咬块矫治器结合矫治性固定正畸治疗取得了满意的效果。
