Objective: To compare the effect of tongue crib and bonded spurs on anterior open bite in orthodontic patients.
Methods: This is a systematic review which includes randomized clinical studies, comparative and prospective studies published from the year January 2016 to January 2025. These studies compared the effect of two habit breaking appliances that is tongue crib and bonded spurs on anterior open bite on the basis of six chosen parameters namely overbite, overjet, angle SNA, angle SNB, angle ANB, and mandibular plane angle. The assessment of the risk of bias of the included clinical trials was done by a tool developed by the Cochrane Collaboration. This review is on the basis of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
Results: On database selecting a total of 13 studies were chosen of which 7 were randomized control trials, 5 were prospective studies and 1 was comparative study.
Conclusion: Although both the tongue crib and bonded spurs had similar effects in early treatment of anterior open bite with respect to the following parameters: overjet, overbite angle SNA, angle SNB, angle ANB, and mandibular plane angle, but this is all on the basis of the parameters as well as the studies chosen in this review.
