Noncompliance open-bite treatment with zygomatic anchorage.

Objective: To evaluate the dentoalveolar and skeletal effects of the new-generation open-bite appliance.

Subjects And Methods: The study group was composed of 11 subjects with a mean age of 19.5 years who underwent intrusion of the posterior dentoalveolar segment using an open-bite appliance supported by bilateral zygomatic implants.

New generation open-bite treatment with zygomatic anchorage.

This technical note aims to present the fabrication and application of a new generation of posterior intrusion appliances using zygomatic anchorage. The use of zygomatic anchorage enables en masse impaction of the posterior segment without any side effects such as labial flaring. A 14-year-old, female Class II patient with an anterior open bite was treated with a new generation posterior intrusion appliance.
