First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at 50 adults who had jaw surgery to fix an anterior open bite (a gap between upper and lower front teeth). Researchers wanted to see if tongue position and speech or physical therapy after surgery affected whether the gap came back. The goal is to find better ways to manage these patients and prevent relapse.
