A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational study following people with a current or past clinical diagnosis of anterior open bite to document treatment outcomes and day-to-day impacts. Researchers will collect clinical records and patient-reported information about function, appearance, and the burden of care after orthodontic treatment. Patients with craniofacial genetic anomalies are excluded to focus on typical open-bite cases. The work is conducted through the University of Helsinki in collaboration with Vantaa and Keravan Wellbeing Services County in Vantaa and Kerava.
