Abstrakt: Orthodontic correction of anterior openbite has conventionally involved extraction therapy or an adjunctive maxillary impaction osteotomy. However, bone anchored molar intrusion treatments have been reported in recent years as a less invasive alternative for such patients. This paper describes the concepts and treatment processes involved with mini-implant molar intrusion to correct anterior openbite and reduce patients' excessive vertical facial proportions.
