New Research on Open Bite Closure and Tooth Extraction
Providence, United States - March 16, 2025 / Providence Orthodontics /
In a noteworthy achievement, Dr. Jessica Collins from Providence Orthodontics has recently co-published a thorough study that examines the effectiveness of tooth extraction in open bite closure. This study was featured in the respected journal The Angle Orthodontist, which is known for its rigorous standards and commitment to advancing orthodontic knowledge.
Open bite, a common dental condition where the upper and lower teeth do not come together when the mouth is closed, can lead to a variety of functional and aesthetic issues. Many patients with this condition often seek treatment from an orthodontist, hoping to achieve a more desirable bite and improve their overall dental health. Having seen her share of open bite cases in Providence, RI, Dr. Collins's research provides valuable insights into whether tooth extraction, a common inclusion of open bite therapy, is correlated with better treatment outcomes than open bite closures that exclude tooth extraction.
Dr. Kevin O'Brien, an internationally recognized figure in orthodontics, has even posted a review of the study on his blog. Long renowned for his insights in current topical research in the field of orthodontics, Dr. O'Brien's decision to review and share the work of Dr. Collins and her colleagues is a testament to the rigor, importance, and methodology behind her findings. Dr. O'Brien’s commitment to sharing his professional opinions on contemporary orthodontic topics ensures that Dr. Collins's work will reach a broad audience of dental professionals eager to enhance their clinical skills.
The impact of Dr. Collins's research extends beyond the pages of The Angle Orthodontist. The study continues the conversation about open bite treatment strategies. The study helps pave the way for developing refined methodologies and tools to better serve patients.
As the field of orthodontics continues to evolve, studies like the one Dr. Collins co-published are vital in pushing the boundaries of what is known and accepted in orthodontic treatment. Her findings highlight the importance of continuous research and its role in guiding orthodontists in Providence, RI and beyond to achieve optimal results for their patients.
Through collaborations and shared insights, orthodontists can enhance their understanding of complex dental issues. Dr. Collins's commitment to advancing knowledge in the field signifies a bright future for orthodontic practices that embrace innovative and research-backed strategies.
