Özet: Relapse of the open bite following the orthodontic treatment may occur within various periods after finishing active treatment. This study evaluates the stability of a severe open bite treatment using records taken 5 years after the treatment. Clinical Presentation: A 16- year old female patient with severe anterior open bite of (-6 mm) and skeletal Cl II relation owing to mandibular retrognathia and dental Cl I occlusion and moderate crowding in both arches. The patient was treated with maxillary molar intrusion with the help of zygomatic miniplates and NiTi coil springs tied to maxillary bite blocks to reduce the lower face height and to close the negative overbite and premolar extractions were also performed to relieve the crowding followed by conventional fixed orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: the patient showed stable vertical correction and a relapse only in the form of diastema at the extraction site. This type of treatment is recommended for similar cases since it has good stability in the long term, and it is less invasive than the orthognathic surgery with less postoperative complications expected.
