Innovation in prediction planning for anterior open bite correction

Aust Orthod J. 2015 May;31(1):78-86.

Abstract

This study applies recent advances in 3D virtual imaging for application in the prediction planning of dentofacial deformities. Stereo-photogrammetry has been used to create virtual and physical models, which are creatively combined in planning the surgical correction of anterior open bite. The application of these novel methods is demonstrated through the surgical correction of a case.
