The treatment of skeletal anterior open bite, especially when compounded by posterior dentoalveolar excess, poses a significant orthodontic challenge. This abstract explores a novel approach employing a combination of Capsplint and Intra-Zygomatic Crest implants (IZC) to address the anterior open bite while facilitating posterior segment correction and autorotation of the mandible. In cases where traditional methods may fall short, this integrated technique aims to provide comprehensive solutions. The Capsplint, acting as an orthodontic splint, contributes to stabilizing the anterior bite while facilitating controlled tooth movement. Simultaneously, the application of Infra zygomatic implants in the posterior segment aims to achieve efficient skeletal correction by promoting selective alveolar bone remodeling. This dual intervention not only targets the primary concern of skeletal anterior open bite but also addresses associated posterior dentoalveolar excess. The incorporation of Capsplint and IZC reflects a nuanced approach, recognizing the interplay between skeletal and dental components. By synergistically managing the anterior and posterior aspects, the treatment endeavors to achieve not only closure of the open bite but also optimal autorotation of the mandible, thereby offering a comprehensive solution to a challenging orthodontic condition.
