Anterior open bite is a malocclusion with aesthetic and functional impairment, which for many years has frustrated clinicians due to its complexity, extensive treatment and high incidence of recurrence, making it widely studied in the dental field.

Skeletal anchorage using mini-implants has adequate size and direction control, and has been gaining ground in dentistry as it is a good orthodontic tool, reducing treatment time in most cases. The purpose of the study was to review the literature on skeletal anchorage using a mini-implant in the treatment of anterior open bite, as well as a company using this technique for dentistry. This study is a narrative, descriptive and qualitative literature review, elaborated by a bibliographic survey in the following databases: Scielo, Lilacs, Pubmed, BVS, and Academic Google, in English and Portuguese. 280 results were found, of which 38 articles were used to compose this review after careful selection. The success of the treatment of anterior open bite is associated with its magnitude, factors etiological, facial pattern ranging from the reeducation of harmful habits, orthodontic movement, surgical treatments. Miniimplants have been effective in correcting several malocclusions because of their versatility, low cost, efficiency and good patient acceptance.
