[Anterior open bite: the role of the infra-alveolae in its diagnosis and treatment].
Anterior open-bites may be skeletal, alveolar or mixed. The infra-alveolae is always due to a postural or functional muscular cause and the clinical examination plays an important part in the diagnosis. Delaire's cephalometric analysis can define the type of infra-alveolae. In view of their aetiology, the infra-alveolae require functional re-education, although glossectomy and multiple bands therapy may also be useful.
