Abstract

Functional treatment of three skeletal open-bite patients with Bionator, Frankel IV and Posterior biteblock

appliances is presented. Pretreatment and post treatment records were evaluated. Correction of

malocclusion by changing direction of the mandibular development, adaptive bony development of

the condyle, vertical development in posterior region, an increase in ramus length, a decrease in the

lower facial height were observed in this report. The results of functional treatment of three appliances

had different effect mechanisms.
