Abstract

Dr. Huang conducted a National Practice-based Research Network in the United States study from 2015 - 2019.  Almost 100 doctors participated, and they recruited 347 of their adult anterior openbite patients.  Treatments investigated included aligners, fixed appliances, TADs, and orthognathic surgery.  Dr. Huang will report on the findings of this study, including treatment recommendations, acceptance, success, and patient satisfaction. He will also review the mechanism of correction achieved by the various treatments, which were certainly not always as expected.
