  • Title: Class II subdivision treatment and stability with asymmetric Herbst appliance: A case report.
    Author: Lorenzoni DC, Barbosa OTAM, Cury-Saramago AA, Mattos CT.
    Journal: Int Orthod; 2024 Jun; 22(2):100838. PubMed ID: 38290193.
    Abstract:
    Non-surgical treatment of Class II subdivision may involve complex mechanics or asymmetric tooth extraction in its resolution. This report demonstrates the result and the short-term stability of Class II subdivision treated with asymmetrically installed Herbst appliance followed by conventional fixed orthodontic appliance. The approach allowed the correction of the unilateral Class II molar relationship and increased overjet, as well as the deviation of dental midlines, with improvement in lip posture and facial profile. The results remained stable two years after treatment, confirming the treatment success.
