  • Title: Treatment of a Class II subdivision malocclusion with multiple congenitally missing teeth.
    Author: Janson G, Camardella LT, de Freitas MR, de Almeida RR, Martins DR.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2009 May; 135(5):663-70. PubMed ID: 19409350.
    Abstract:
    This case report describes the treatment of a patient with a Class II Division 1 subdivision right malocclusion with 8 congenitally missing teeth, incompetent lips, and incisor protrusion. The treatment plan included extractions and space closure with retraction of the anterior teeth; symmetric mechanics were used in the mandibular arch and asymmetric mechanics in the maxillary arch. Because of the mechanics used, some midline deviations were expected. Knowledge of diagnosis and treatment planning of asymmetric malocclusions and dental esthetics are essential for success when correcting asymmetic problems, but, even so, small clinical compromises should be expected.
