Orthodontic treatment of an open bite patient with oral-facial-digital syndrome.
A case of oral-facial-digital syndrome was treated orthodontically. Characteristics of this case were mandibular protrusion with open bite. Occlusal stability after correction of this malocclusion was achieved with the uprighting of the posterior teeth, surgical reduction of the enlarged tonsils and highly attached tongue frenum, and oral functional training.
