AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult patients with an age range from 17 to 25.
* Skeletal open bite.
* Dental open bite that is due to overgrowth of maxillary posterior segment as seen clinically and that can be corrected without surgical intervention (a minimum of 3 mm and a maximum of 8 mm).
* Skeletal class I or mild to moderate skeletal class II that enables camouflage treatment.
* Normal incisor show on smiling (that makes the case indicated for molar intrusion and not for incisor extrusion).
* Full set of maxillary posterior dentition (first and second premolars, first molars at least).
* No previous orthodontic treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Medically compromised patients.
* Patients suffering from any congenital or hereditary diseases.
* Smoking or any systemic diseases.
* Chronic use of any medications including antibiotics, phenytoin, cyclosporin, anti-inflammatory drugs, systemic corticosteroids, and calcium channel blockers.
