Abstract

The anterior open bite is characterized by the negative vertical overhang occurring in the anterior region. It consists of a discrepancy in the vertical direction and is one of the malocclusions with greater aesthetic-functional impairment, besides dental and skeletal alterations. It has a high prevalence in the deciduous and mixed dentition and its etiology is multifactorial, highlighting the deleterious oral habits as the most prevalent. The objective of this study was to present the clinical case of a growing female patient presenting an anterior open bite associated with thumb sucking, by means of treatment with the functional orthopedic device Simões Network (SN3). During the first 12 months follow-up, we observed facial and intraoral oral changes and forward, the improvement of functional and craniofacial relationships, observed through complementary tests.
