A case of Class II Malocclusion|Noopur, Ahmedabad (India)
Class II malocclusion treated with Twin block appliance followed by fixed Mechano therapy.
A patient aged 13 years came to us with chief complaint of negative smile and protruding teeth.
On examination; we found she had a deep bite and endon occlusion, V shaped palate and upper –lower crowding. We also found that she had dished in facial profile with retrusive lips.
We opened up V shaped palate and put her on myofunctional appliance to push her lower jaw forward. Not only we managed to get a beautiful smile, we also managed to open up her bite, palate as well as airway.
Treatment Results:Patient now says she breathes much better and does not get tired easily.
Protrusive mechanics are a boon for the airway. Always remember
“Health before Beauty”
A case of Class I Malocclusion with Severe Crowding|Stuti, Ahmedabad (India)
Class I Malocclusion with Severe Crowding Treatment
A 12 years old female patient came to us with a smile showing very few teeth, both upper as well as lower under developed jaws, resulting in crowding of teeth. She had been advised extraction of 4 teeth by other doctor to make space for crowding to be relieved. Those doctors felt that relieving crowding without removing teeth will make profile even worse and give her protrusive lips.
We used a semi rapid expansion protocol to gain space in lateral direction. We utilized this space to correct crowding by using only two wires in her fixed appliance treatment.
Treatment Results:Please see her beautiful smile and well proportioned facial profile after we finished the treatment.
Please also note that occlusion has settled very well 4 years post treatment and her lateral expansion has been maintained.
If your protocol is good; there is no relapse in transverse direction.
Do you think her face, side profile and smile would have been so good if we had done treatment with extractions?
It’s time for all of us professionals to rethink retraction mechanics in orthodontics!
