A case report of a Class I malocclusion with a severe skeletal open bite, excessive overjet, a high mandibular plane angle, and a forward maxillary rotation is presented. Treatment has eliminated the causative factors (i.e., mouth breathing, enamel hypoplasia of the first molars, and abnormal tongue posture and function). A normal growth pattern has been restored, ensuring a good and stable orthodontic result.
