In this low-angle case, the posterior teeth were allowed to elongate without placement of acrylic resin on the occlusal surfaces for enhanced bite-plane effect. This facilitated bite opening and helped produce favorable results. The upper and lower arches were bracketed almost at the same time, creating the bite-plane effect and moment of force from the lingual brackets that contributed to effective intrusion and lingual tipping of the upper and lower anterior teeth.
