Abstract
Open bite is a complex dentofacial deformity that may involve skeletal, dental, and functional components. In severe cases, especially when associated with vertical maxillary excess or mandibular discrepancies, orthognathic surgery is required for stable and esthetic correction. Proper pre-surgical orthodontic preparation is essential to ensure accurate surgical movements, stable occlusion, and long-term success. This article reviews the principles, diagnosis, treatment planning, and orthodontic preparation protocols for patients with open bite undergoing orthognathic surgery.
