El objetivo de este estudio fue redirigir el crecimiento vertical del maxilar, estimular el crecimiento mandibular, disminuir la mordida abierta anterior, corregir la dimensión transversal del maxilar y mejorar las inclinaciones con la combinación de los bloques gemelos junto con tracción extraoral de tiro alto y aparatología fija. Los resultados mostraron que a pesar de los cambios favorables durante los 5 años de tratamiento, se logró una limitada restricción horizontal y vertical del crecimiento maxilar y mandibular. El paciente mantuvo el patrón de crecimiento original y actualmente presenta una relación molar clase I, adecuada relación transversal, 1.5 mm de sobremordida vertical, 3 mm de sobremordida horizontal y un balance favorable en el perfil. La aparatología de bloques gemelos y tracción extraoral de tiro alto junto con aparatología fija puede ser considerada como una terapia efectiva para los problemas de control vertical y mordida abierta en pacientes que se encuentran en crecimiento y dentición mixta.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: Management of the vertical growth and open Management of vertical growth and open bite are two of the most difficult problems of orthodontic therapy. Patients with long face syndrome are prone to develop a severe skeletal vertical growth pattern. The purpose of this article was to evaluate dental, skeletal and soft tissues changes in a patient treated with high pull headgear and twin blocks combination, as well as fixed appliances. The results after 5 years of treatment showed partial changes in the restriction of horizontal and vertical maxillary and mandible growth. The patient maintained the original skeletal growth pattern, with class I molar relationship, adequate transversal relationship, 1.5 mm overbite, 3 mm overjet and a good balanced profile. The headgear-twin blocks with fixed appliance therapy could be considered an effective treatment for the vertical growth control and open bite problems in growing mixed-dentition patients.]]></p></abstract>
