Here's a 1,000-word (quarter-length) concise version of your research brief, preserving the key structure and essential details: Brief Summary: Comparative Management of Skeletal Anterior Open Bite Using Mini-Screw Supported Intrusion with Clear Aligners Versus Fixed Appliances PICO elements Population: Adults (17-25 years) with uncompensated skeletal anterior open bite. Intervention: TAD-supported intrusion with clear aligners. Comparison: TAD-supported intrusion with fixed appliances. Outcomes: Primary: Anterior open bite closure. Secondary: Molar intrusion, mandibular autorotation, incisor movement and quality of life.
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of mini-screw supported maxillary posterior segments' intrusion using fixed appliances versus clear aligners.
