Brief summary

This study investigated treatment effects and stability of anterior open bite cases using extrusion arches

Interventions

A stainless steel pre-formed arch wire custom made by placing V-bends 3-5 mm mesial to the molar tubes, placed into the auxiliary molar tubes after leveling phase and tied over the main arch wire distal to the lateral incisors
