“…20 Some alternatives for the treatment of this malocclusion are described in the literature, among them: habitpreventing devices, fixed apparatus, mini-implants, mini-plates and surgical correction. 27,28 However, an adequate diagnosis and treatment plan are needed before deciding on the best approach. Regarding the use of the fixed palatine grille for the treatment of anterior open bite, the present report is in agreement with previous studies, which opted for the same treatment, being successful at the end of the therapy.…”

[ 18 ] A successful nonsurgical treatment for an adolescent female presented with Angle Class III malocclusion, excessive lower facial height, and the anterior open bite has been reported in previous studies. The patient refused the orthosurgical treatment modality and another option was suggested using multiloop edgewise archwire (MEAW) in association with a chin cup to correct the divergence of occlusal planes and molar relationship, without a major change in the patient’s profile.…”
