title: European Board of Orthodontics case report: severe skeletal discrepancy.
abstract: The 10.3 year-old patient presented a sagittal skeletal and dental Class II division I malocclusion with a severe overjet in the mixed dentition. The convex profile aesthetically improved with the mandibular advancement (positive Frankel manoeuvre). No signs or symptoms of TMJ disorders were present. Oral mucosa and gingiva conditions were good notwithstanding a scanty oral hygiene. The treatment plan included: a) Bass appliance to improve the retruded profile and, partially, OVJ; b) upper and lower arch fixed appliance for alignment, levelling and correction of the malocclusion c) posttreatment retention.
