Paradox in Orthodontic Treatment of the Adult Patient with Maxillary Prognathism and Distalization of Low Posterior Teeth

Skeletal distal occlusion is one of the most common dentoalveolar abnormalities that influence the quality of life. In recent years, young patients understand more and more the necessity to correct the bite abnormalities and they are ready to go for orthodontic treatment [1]. However, diagnosis and treatment of the patients with distal occlusion are difficult for many practicing orthodontists. An important task in diagnosis and treatment approach is to determine main signs of the abnormality, their causes and relationship with dentoalveolar and/or skeletal forms of the abnormality. At that, determination of posterior (especially maxillary) teeth position in sagittal, horizontal and vertical planes aredifficult for doctors. The present work is devoted to examination of the approach to treat patients with dentoalveolar pathology.
