This study will aim to evaluate the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the dentofacial structures in patients with anterior open bite (AOB).
This study will be a prospective clinical study. All the patients will be treated with 0.022 inch slot Roth metal brackets. Orthodontic bands will be cemented to the maxillary first molars. Both maxillary and mandibular teeth, will be sectionally leveled and aligned with superelastic Ni-Ti archwires. A buccal stiff sectional wire from the first molar to the canine will be added for anchorage reinforcement. Extrusion will be done by inverting a 0.017 × 0.025-inch Connecticut intrusion archwire and inserting it in the molar auxiliary tubes upside-down and miniscrew will be tied to the molar bands to act as additional indirect anchorage.

Mean change in the overbite and overjet "Amount of open bite closure". -Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models in millimeters(mm)
Amount of open bite closure measurement will help to know the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the treatment of anterior open bite * Mean change will be measured on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models by measuring the vertical linear distance between the mesiodistal midpoint of the incisal edge of the uppermost vertically erupted upper central incisors and a horizontal plane projected on the lower central incisor(overbite) in millimeters(mm). * Also mean change will be measured on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models by measuring the horizontal linear distance between the incisal edge of the most protruded upper central incisor and a frontal plane projected on the lower central incisor (overjet) in millimeters (mm).
Time frame: one year
Mean change in the Antero-posterior position of permanent maxillary first molar. -Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models in millimeters(mm)
* Mean change in the Antero-posterior position of permanent maxillary first molar will help to know the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the posterior teeth. * Change will be measured on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models by measuring the linear distance between the mesial surface of the upper first molar and a line joining the medial end of the two third rugae, the mean between the right and left sides will be used in millimeters(mm) * Also will be measured on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models by measuring the horizontal linear distance between the mesiobuccal cusp of upper first molar and mesiobuccal groove of lower first molar, the mean between the right and left sides will be used in millimeters (mm).

Changes that occur in the dentoalveolar vertical development of the upper and lower anterior teeth. -Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models in millimeters(mm)
* Changes that occur in the dentoalveolar vertical development of the upper and lower anterior teeth will help to know the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the vertical development of the anterior teeth. * Change will be measured on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models by measuring The perpendicular vertical distance from a point between the central incisors at the level of the alveolar process to the occlusal plane from the frontal view, the occlusal plane was determined by three points: mesiobuccal cusp tip of the right and left first permanent molars and cusp tip of the right first premolar in millimeters (mm). * Also will be measured on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models by measuring the vertical distance between the incisal edge and gingival margin of the central incisor along its labial surface, the mean between the right and left sides will be used in millimeters(mm).
