This study will aim to evaluate the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the dentofacial structures in patients with anterior open bite (AOB).
This study will be a prospective clinical study. All the patients will be treated with 0.022 inch slot Roth metal brackets. Orthodontic bands will be cemented to the maxillary first molars. Both maxillary and mandibular teeth, will be sectionally leveled and aligned with superelastic Ni-Ti archwires.
A buccal stiff sectional wire from the first molar to the canine will be added for anchorage reinforcement. Extrusion will be done by inverting a 0.017 × 0.025-inch Connecticut intrusion archwire and inserting it in the molar auxiliary tubes upside-down and miniscrew will be tied to the molar bands to act as additional indirect anchorage.

| Change in the smile of the patients through measuring mean change in the lenght of the upper lip, amount of incisors and gum exposure. Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment photographs in millimeters (mm). | This outcome will help to know the effect of extrusion of the anterior teeth on the smile of the patients. Pretreatment and posttreatment extraoral photographs will be taken, including a close-up photograph with a ruler while the patient is smiling. | one year |
| Stability of the treatment after 1, 2 and 3year(s) through measuring mean change in the overbite. Measurements will be done on digital study models in millimeters(mm) | This outcome will help to know the stability of the technique of using of skeletally anchored extrusion arch in the treatment of anterior open bite patients. -stability will be measured on posttreatment after 1, 2 and 3 years posttreatment digital study models by measuring the vertical linear distance between the mesiodistal midpoint of the incisal edge of the uppermost vertically erupted upper central incisors and a horizontal plane projected on the lower central incisor(overbite) in millimeters(mm). | Two year, three and four year. |
