  • Title: Molar intrusion in the management of anterior openbite and 'high angle' Class II malocclusions.
    Author: Cousley RR.
    Journal: J Orthod; 2014 Sep; 41 Suppl 1():S39-46. PubMed ID: 25138365.
    Abstract:
    Orthodontic correction of anterior openbite has conventionally involved extraction therapy or an adjunctive maxillary impaction osteotomy. However, bone anchored molar intrusion treatments have been reported in recent years as a less invasive alternative for such patients. This paper describes the concepts and treatment processes involved with mini-implant molar intrusion to correct anterior openbite and reduce patients' excessive vertical facial proportions.
