Abstract

Anterior open bite malocclusion presents a challenging issue in orthodontic treatment. This difficulty arises from the distinct occlusal planes of the maxillary and mandibular dentitions. Unlike the overlap observed in normal occlusion, the open bite is characterized by the anterior divergence of these planes. This is a case report of a 25-year-old female patient with an anterior open bite successfully treated with the MEAW technique. There is an overall improvement in the patient's facial profile and occlusion post-treatment.
