Open bite is a malocclusion that occurs in the vertical plane, characterized by lack of vertical overlap
between the maxillary and Mandibular dentition. The anterior open bites particularly skeletal open bites are
called as “stigmata of malocclusion”. The varied etiological characterstic features of openbite are discussed in
this article. Openbites are easy to diagnose but difficult to retain. The various modes of treatment are also
discussed depending upon the age of the patient.
