Abstract　： [Abstract] In most cases, diagnosis and treatment planning for skeletal openbite malocclusions can be complex and constitutes a real challenge particularly in those accompanied by anteroposterior maxillo-mandibular discrepancies. The present paper deals with high angle and low angle Class III malocclusions as well as with Class II openbites. Utilization of MEAWs (multiloop edgewise arch wires) with different tip back mechanics and short vertical elastics can be effective in reconstructing the occlusal plane inclination, and so allow the repositioning of the mandible. Tooth alignment with corrected occlusal plane inclination can lead to a physiological mandibular position which is the key to stability of the properly adjusted occlusion. [Introduction] The reason why openbites and mandibular hyperdivergence are quite often seen in human beings is not just a dental problem but also one of the topics in human evolution. Through the years, orthodontic history has faced this question but actually has still no clear answer.
