This is critical, for example, when we treat a case with overbite alterations, both in excess and in defect.<\/p>\n<p>The clinical case we introduce is an example of treatment in case of anterior open bite. The patient asked for a fixed invisible lingual orthodontic therapy without brackets, to completely hide the presence of the device without phonetic distortions and tongue

vertical discrepancy could not be obtained by extrusion of the frontal group.<\/p>\n<p>It was also considered that an increased incisal edge exposure at the rest lip position would have already been obtained through the reduction of the excessive flaring of the frontal teeth.<\/p>\n<p>\u202aThe therapy was performed by intrusion of the posterior group and the lingualization of the upper and lower frontal groups.<\/p>\n<p>For this purpose, it was first performed a stripping procedure from the distal surface of 12 to the distal surface of 22 and from the distal surface of 42 to the distal

For this reason, the orthodontic treatment plan is the result of a careful radiographic examination and related cephalometric tracing, a detailed examination of the dental casts and related space analysis, but also an accurate aesthetic facial analysis. We want to focus our attention on the exposure of the maxillary incisors with lips at rest. This is critical, for example, when we treat a case with overbite alterations, both in excess and in defect. The clinical case we introduce is an example of treatment in case of anterior open bite. The patient asked for a fixed invisible lingual orthodontic therapy without brackets, to completely hide the presence of the device without phonetic distortions and tongue irritations.
