Abstract

The article investigates the stability of anterior open bite (AOB) cases in adults treated with upper and lower extrusion arches, finding that after 1 year post-treatment, 85 percent of patients maintained positive overbite, supporting the stability of the treatment. Topics include the etiology of AOB, nonsurgical treatment approaches like extrusion arches, and the evaluation of stability using cephalometric measurements and the Photographic Openbite Severity Index.
