Implant-anchored orthodontics is a rapidly developing new field in the treatment of major malocclusion. In particular, the use of skeletal fixtures as orthodontic anchors is affording a minimally invasive treatment option for correction of skeletal anterior open bite as an alternative to major surgery. This article reviews the literature and guides oral and maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists in case selection and management of open bite with implant-assisted orthodontics.
