Abstract
A malocclusion characterized by open bite and vertical maxillary excess can be one of the most difficult problems to correct through orthodontic treatment because of the difficulty in permanently changing the morphological disharmony and/or functional disorder associated with open bite. However, in some patients with less severe skeletal impairment it may be possible to orthodontically correct the occlusal disharmony so that the new relationship of the dental arches becomes compatible with normal function of the oral environment. Stability may be enhanced if mechanics are used which do not extrude posterior teeth.
