• Anterior open bite has been successfully corrected without extraction. • A palatal appliance efficiently distalized and intruded the maxillary posterior teeth. • After a 5-year postretention, her occlusion and facial esthetics were maintained. This case report describes successful orthodontic retreatment for vertical control with nonextraction orthodontic therapy. A 31-year-old woman complained of anterior open bite and crowding. She had slightly protrusive lips but wanted to correct her malocclusion without extraction. Two palatal temporary skeletal anchorage devices were used for the distalization of the maxillary arch along with posterior intrusion. Mandibular distalization was performed with Class III elastics. The duration of active treatment was 22 months. The plain and efficient mechanics used contributed to the effective distalization of both arches, the intrusion of the maxillary posterior teeth, and favorable profile changes. The results were still stable at the five-year follow-up period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
