In deep bite cases, proper planning and practice are important in achieving the successful treatment outcomes. Bite opening is obtained with the aid of incisor intrusion, molar extrusion, or a combination of them. Pure incisor intrusion is a challenge for clinicians because incisor intrusion mechanics generally cause molar extrusion or incisor flaring. In the present article, a new technique that can be used for incisor intrusion without the mentioned handicaps was introduced.
