Abstract:
A late adolescent patient presented with a Class III
malocclusion on a skeletal Class III base, complicated
by severe upper arch and moderate lower arch
crowding, reverse overjet, anterior and bilateral
posterior crossbites with displacement, proclined
upper incisors, retroclined lower incisors, distally
tipped lower canines and non-coincident centrelines.
Treatment was undertaken on an extraction basis by
employing the use of an upper removable appliance
with Z-springs and posterior bite blocks to correct the
anterior crossbite, quad helix and jockey arch for arch
expansion, and pre-adjusted edgewise fixed appliance
to level and align, space closure and achieve a
mutually protective functional occlusion. This paper
discussed the rational and evidences behind the
treatment employed.
