Dr Flavia Artese describes one of the main causes of anterior open bites, tongue position, and the use of tongue cribs and spurs. Conclusion: Use of palatal cribs and tongue spurs are effective at managing AOBs, where the aetiology is anterior tongue position. however stability is related to resting tongue position long term. Aetiology Anterior tongue position at rest, not in swallowing, as low in...

Simon Littlewood tells his story of orthodontics in his charismatic way. Simon walks us through his achievement of the Cochrane Systematic Review on retention, what ideas led to the large body of work (link below).
