Interceptive orthodontic treatment with elastodontic appliance for open bite in early childhood: a case series

Abstract

This case series explores the effectiveness of interceptive orthodontic treatment using A.M.C.O.P elastodontic appliances for open bite correction in early childhood. The study included three patients aged 3-5 years with primary dentition open bite and associated oral habits, treated at the Odontostomatological Centre, University of Perugia. Treatment utilized A.M.C.O.P Bio-Activators, tailored for early intervention, leveraging light and biological elastic forces to guide jaw growth and correct dental alignment.

The study highlights the role of timely intervention using A.M.C.O.P Bio-Activators in managing malocclusions, demonstrating significant improvements in occlusion and functional disorders. Early treatment with these devices not only corrects open bite efficiently but also reduces the need for future orthodontic interventions, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and patient compliancein achieving lasting results.
