Posterior Bite Ramps

Applications of Posterior Bite Ramps

Posterior bite ramps are particularly useful in scenarios where increasing space and enhancing intrusive forces in the posterior region are required. Their main applications include the treatment of crossbites and open bites.

Crossbite: Posterior bite ramps can be employed to disocclude the anterior teeth, aiding in the correction of an anterior crossbite coupled with a deep overbite. Or single tooth posterior crossbite correction.
Open Bite: Ramps are effective in intruding the molars, which can lead to a auto-rotation of the mandible, thereby reducing the severity of an anterior open bite.
