An American Board of Orthodontics case report: an adult nonsurgical patient whose treatment required combined dental disciplines.
This is a case report of a 27-year-old, white woman who had a Class II, Division 2 malocclusion with 100% overbite and mild skeletal mandibular retrognathia. Missing teeth were the maxillary right canine, second premolar, and second molar; the maxillary left canine and second molar; the mandibular left first premolar and second molar; the mandibular right first premolar and second molar. The maxillary first premolars were used as canines and the molars were in an Angle Class I relationship at the end of 31 months of treatment. Bonded lingual retainers were placed: a maxillary lateral incisor-to-lateral incisor, a mandibular canine-to-canine, and a maxillary Hawley retainer. Later, a fixed restoration to replace the maxillary right second premolar was completed. Included are 3-year posttreatment records.
