A ten-year follow-up case report following surgical correction of anterior open bite.
A case is reported whereby an anterior open-bite was treated with the Köle osteotomy in an adult Chinese girl. This study documents cephalometrically the post-treatment changes occurring in the dento-alveolar complex over a ten year follow-up period and describes the possible mechanisms contributing to the remarkable stability of the open-bite correction.
