Does planned molar intrusion with aligners assist with closure of anterior open bite?

Introduction: This study aimed to determine whether prescribed molar intrusion, with or without virtual occlusal bite-blocks (BB), resulted in actual molar intrusion and assisted with anterior open bite (AOB) correction in adult patients treated with Invisalign clear aligners (Align Technology, Santa Clara, Calif).

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with 36 adult patients with AOB. Subjects were divided into 2 treatment groups: planned molar intrusion (PMI) and no-PMI (No-PMI).
