Open Bite Correction WITHOUT Surgery? | TAD Intrusion & LIFT Protocol (13-Month Case)
Can you treat complex vertical cases without jaw surgery? In this case, a young patient was previously told to wait for surgical correction due to a severe vertical maxillary issue. Instead, we used TAD-supported intrusion and the LIFT Protocol (Load Induced Force Technique) to fully correct the case - in just 13 months. 🔑 What you’ll learn in this video: 🔹 How to diagnose and treat vertical maxillary excess early 🔹 Step-by-step breakdown of the LIFT Protocol 🔹 Strategic TAD placement for predictable molar intrusion 🔹 How vertical control impacts mandibular autorotation, facial esthetics, and airway 🔹 Why traditional mechanics (e.g. Class II elastics alone) can worsen these cases 💡 By focusing on vertical correction first, we were able to: ✔ Close the open bite ✔ Improve facial proportions ✔ Reduce lip incompetence ✔ Achieve a stable, esthetic result—without surgery ⏱ Total Treatment Time: 13 Months 👉 Want to learn this protocol step-by-step?
