Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The time that was required to treat anterior open bite.<br>The measure will be done by an experienced investigators and will be calculated between the period of the application of posterior bite block and an 1 mm of overbite reached.<br>lateral cephalometric radiographs were studied before the application of the device (T1), (T2) after the Overbite becomes 1 mm.[(t1): Baseline, after application of posterior block bite<br>(t2): 1 mm of overbite reached for a maximum of 2 years,<br>]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cephalometric evaluation<br>The measure will be done by an experienced investigators and will be calculated between the period of the application of posterior bite block and an 1mm of over bite reached.<br>Twenty landmarks were identified on each cephalogram<br>Lateral cephalometric radiographs were studied before the application of the device (T1), (T2) after the Overbite becomes 1mm,<br>taken before (T1) and after (T2) treatment. Treatment and<br>normal growth changes between T1 and T2 were evaluated<br>by 7 angular and 13 linear measurements[(T`1): Before the application of posterior bite block.<br>(T2): After removing posterior bite block immediately.]
