Abstract

Successful treatment of severe skeletal open-bite malocclusions has always demanded the utmost of the orthodontist. Long-term evaluation of this type of treatment is not often seen in the literature, for the results have often been disappointing. Combining the best of the surgical and orthodontic disciplines offers these cases an optimistic outlook for the first time. A case treated twice by conventional orthodontic means in 1965 and 1969 was re-treated in 1980 by a surgical orthodontic approach. The results are quite encouraging.

摘要

成功治疗严重的骨骼性开牙合错牙合畸形一直对正畸医生有着极高的要求。文献中很少见到对这类治疗的长期评估，因为其结果常常令人失望。将外科和正畸学科的最佳方法结合起来，首次为这些病例带来了乐观的前景。1965年和1969年曾采用传统正畸方法治疗过两次的一例病例，于1980年采用外科正畸方法进行了再次治疗。结果相当令人鼓舞。
