This is a treatment report of a patient with an anterior open bite and predominance of vertical growth. Multiloop edgewise archwire (MEAW) mechanics were used and resulted in an efficient bite closure and good occlusion. For retention, a bonded 3-3 retainer was used in the mandible whereas a wraparound retainer was employed in the maxilla. World J Orthod 2009;10:104­–110.
