abstract = {Anterior open bite can be effectively treated nonsurgically via molar intrusion. This technique, involving the intrusion of posterior teeth using temporary skeletal anchorage devices, prompts counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. This rotation not only corrects anterior open bite but also contributes to a decrease in anterior facial height, improvements in lip incompetency, and forward movement of the chin. For successful outcomes, temporary skeletal anchorage devices, installed on both the buccal and palatal sides, must deliver equivalent intrusion force to the maxillary teeth. Treatment planning should consider factors such as skeletal discrepancies, vertical excess, incisor exposure, and configuration of the occlusal plane. Clinicians are advised to closely monitor periodontal changes and consider overcorrection to ensure lasting stability and maintenance of incisal overlap post-treatment.},
