Abstract
Introduction: Orthodontic treatment even though managed and properly controlled , on some remote occasion
may lead to presence of unwanted movement. Anterior open bite is one such example of an iatrogenic
outcome. This article describes the management of an iatrogenic anterior open bite case that occurred in active
orthodontic treatment in the early stage of leveling and aligning. A few modalities had been employed to
manage the open bite through some artistic bends followed by the use of modified low transpalatal arch with
extended looped arms with loops as well as orthodontic mini implants for distalisation and some intrusion
mechanics. This case report is aimed to share authors’ anecdotal experience on overcoming the open bite.
