Abstract
The dental biprotrusion characteristic of certain ethnic groups raises the question of treatment or abstinence. In many situations, it is accompanied by an open bite concerning the lingual volume or lingual support during pronunciation. The therapeutic solution must be considered and individualized. This article describes an anterior open edge of functional origin orthodontic treatment in a 23-year-old adult patient embarrassed by the cosmetic defect.
