abstract = {Anterior open bites represent one of the most complex malocclusions to treat due to their multifactorial etiology and high risk of relapse. While traditionally managed with fixed appliances, extractions, temporary anchorage devices (TADs), or surgery, clear aligner therapy has emerged as an effective alternative for adult patients when biomechanics are properly applied. Anterior open bite correction with clear aligners occurs primarily through incisor extrusion, with limited and less predictable contributions from molar intrusion. This paper reviews current knowledge on anterior open bite correction with clear aligners, the predictability of relevant tooth movements, and clinical outcomes reported in the literature. It also presents a contemporary clinical protocol for managing anterior open bite with clear aligners, including setup strategies in the digital treatment plan, class-specific considerations, staging, and retention. },
