The study discusses posterior open bite development during clear aligner treatment, indicating prevention is key to better outcomes.

The theories of posterior open bite development are discussed, and the treatment and prevention of each aetiological factor are outlined. Predictable prevention and management of posterior open bites during CAT would serve to improve treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction both aesthetically and functionally.
