Summary

This experimental study will evaluate the effect of different methods for the molar intrusion (compared with the control group) in adolescent and adult patients with open bite malocclusion. The study sample will consist of 45 patients with anterior open bite. The sample will be randomly allocated into two experimental groups, in addition to a control group.

The investigators will apply a modified version of the Open Bite Appliance (OBA), by Erverdi and Usumez, for all patients in upper posterior teeth. For this purpose, miniplates will be used in the first treatment group, while miniscrews will be used in the second treatment group. In the control group, only OBA will be used. The skeletal and dentoalveolar changes occurring after intrusion of posterior teeth will be assessed by using posteroanterior and lateral cephalometric radiographs. Pre- and post- treatment changes for each group will be evaluated, in addition to the comparison of the post-treatment skeletal and dental changes that occurs between groups.
