The novel Corona virus has caused extensive damage to both life and economy and it has also given us a chance to adapt and make changes to the way we do things1. This includes changes that must be made to the way we practice dentistry as a whole. Orthodontics, a specialty of dentistry that involves long term treatments usually in order to fulfill esthetic objectives planned out for the patients is at a greater risk compared to other specialties because most of them do not require long-term follow-ups. During this crisis it is essential to implement measures that help patient treatments to continue as planned and at the same time it is imperative to employ methods that reduce complications. Aligners are very useful in carrying out most tooth movements with the help of attachments and these should definitely be considered as an aid to Orthodontic practice.

During molar intrusion some of the problems commonly encountered are buccal tipping of the molars and relative anterior extrusion which may lead to a more gingival smile. Both of these can be effectively countered by the use of a low-placed Transpalatal arch. The patient reported to the clinic with an anterior open bite and fused mandibular right anterior central and lateral incisors. Utilizing the finite element model made using the patient’s scan, a pick-up impression of the maxillary arch was recorded with the bands in place on the maxillary first molars. The appliance was designed using the conventional .036 mm wire but the design was modified to include a moderately large U-loop in the middle to enhance the surface area in contact with the tongue and bring about intrusion. The palatal clearance was kept at 5mm and the U-loop was positioned anteriorly instead of the traditional posterior facing design. Maxillary molar intrusion was achieved leading to anti-clockwise rotation of the mandible causing the anterior open bite to close.
