Familial posterior open bite: a primary failure of eruption

A J Ireland. Br J Orthod. 1991 Aug.

Abstract

Two sisters are presented in whom posterior open bites have developed. Orthodontic treatment was not successful in correcting this aspect of the malocclusion in the older sibling. The younger child developed the same defect, and consequently orthodontic treatment is not being considered.
