Double-jaw surgery, using SSRO, for Class III malocclusion with an anterior open bite promotes open bite correction because postoperative superior movement of the mandible occurs after surgery as a result of counterclockwise autorotation. In contrast, because of the backward and downward movement of the distal segment after IVRO due to condylar sagging and a muscular pull, the patient can exhibit a tendency to develop an anterior open bite in the early posto...
