This case-based clinical text is an exhaustive review of orthodontic problems in the vertical dimension, with evidence-based guidelines for successful diagnosis and treatment. A total of 21 cases address dental deep bites, skeletal deep bites, dental open bites, skeletal open bites, and posterior open bites. Each case includes pretreatment, interim, and posttreatment orthodontic records, as well as references to provide a solid evidence base for decision making. Written with a clinical focus, Orthodontics in the Vertical Dimension is ideal for the practicing orthodontist and makes an excellent resource for residents in pursuit of board certification. Key Features • Detailed case-based scenarios for treatment of the spectrum of open bites and deep bites • Cases presented in question and answer format to encourage thought • 2500 clinical photographs and illustrations. “This is a great textbook, and I will use it in my classes. Highly organized and elaborately illustrated, the authors’ work is inspired by problem-based learning and stimulates cognitive processes by encouraging critical thinking. Their text deserves a ‘must read’ category for orthodontic professionals of all ages.” INDICE: Preface xxx .Chapter 1 – Foundations .The Spectrum of Vertical .Growth Foundations .Diagnosis and Treatment Planning Principles .Chapter 2 – Dental Deep Bites .Introduction .Case Andrew: Class II division 2, adolescent .Case Emma: Class II division 2, impacted canines, missing premolar, adolescent .Chapter 3 – Skeletal Deep Bites .Introduction .Case Adam: Class II division 1, adolescent .Case Valerie: Class II division 1, dental asymmetry, adolescent .Case Shawn: Class III, nearly complete lingual cross bite, late adolescent .Case Megan: Class II division 2, left posterior cross bite, maxillary / mandibular cants, adult .Case Connie: Class II division 2, severe anterior attrition, adult .Chapter 4 – Dental Anterior Open Bites .Introduction .Case Sasha: Class II division 1 subdivision right, ADD with reduction and crepitus, small maxillary lateral incisors, adult .Case Derrick: Class III, anterior and posterior cross bite, adolescent .Case Steven: Class II division 1, minimal posterior overjet, adolescent .Chapter 5 – Skeletal Anterior Open Bites .Introduction .Case Emma: Class II division 1, anterior cross bite, moderate to severe anterior crowding, child .Case Rachael: Class II division 1, enlarged adenoids, child .Case Kaylee: Class III, left posterior cross bite, late adolescent .Case Greg: Class II division 1, bilateral posterior cross bite, multiple missing teeth, adult .Case Ashley: Class II division 1 subdivision left, anterior cross bite, adult .Case Alyson: Class II division 1, right posterior cross bite, mild adenoidal hypertrophy, adult .Chapter 6 – Posterior Open Bites .Introduction .Case Mark: Class I, child .Case George: Class II division 2 subdivision right, sleep apnea, adult .Case Kreslyn: Class III right Class II left, bilateral posterior cross bite, adult .Appendix .Cephalometric Analysis Primer .Iowa Anteroposterior Classification .Abbreviations .Template: Diagnostic Findings and Problems List .Template: Primary Problems List .Checklist to Follow for Surgical Patients .Limits of Orthognathic Surgical Movements .Guidelines for Post–Surgical Biomechanics if Occlusal Discrepancies Exist .Index xxx
