      <abstract>
        <p>Open bite correction presents significant challenges in orthodontics due to the multifactorial nature of the condition and the high risk of relapse. Short-term stability is influenced by precise control of vertical tooth movements and the use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs), which provide effective molar intrusion while minimizing reliance on patient compliance. Behavioral factors, such as tongue posture and swallowing patterns, play a critical role in early relapse, necessitating adjunctive therapies like myofunctional exercises and habit cessation training. Retention strategies, including fixed and removable retainers, are essential for maintaining short-term outcomes, with hybrid retention approaches showing superior efficacy. Long-term stability depends on addressing both skeletal and dental factors, particularly in cases involving growth-related changes. Orthognathic surgery remains a cornerstone for severe skeletal open bite correction, offering significant improvements in vertical relationships. However, relapse can occur due to neuromuscular adaptation or insufficient stabilization of the skeletal framework. Long-term outcomes are enhanced through tailored retention strategies and ongoing monitoring to detect early signs of relapse. Technological advancements, such as three-dimensional imaging and virtual surgical planning, have improved diagnostic precision and treatment predictability. These tools facilitate individualized care, ensuring that patient-specific anatomical and functional factors are addressed comprehensively. Interdisciplinary collaboration further supports stability by integrating orthodontic, surgical, and behavioral interventions. Achieving stable outcomes in open bite correction requires a holistic approach that combines innovative techniques, robust retention protocols, and patient-centered care. Addressing both short- and long-term challenges with a focus on individualized treatment planning and continuous follow-up is critical for reducing relapse and improving functional and aesthetic outcomes. Emerging technologies and multidisciplinary care offer promising avenues for enhancing stability and ensuring lasting success in the management of open bite cases.&#13;
