Summary
This study tests two dental devices—a vertical holding appliance and a Zachrisson transpalatal arch—to correct anterior open bite in children aged 6-12. The goal is to see which works better for closing the gap between upper and lower front teeth. Researchers will measure changes in jaw bone structure and how much the overbite improves.
