Studies concerning the prevalence of extractions prior to orthodontic treatment have been limited in scope. This quasi-experimental analysis from secondary data explores patient and provider variables as they relate to extractions prior to comprehensive orthodontic therapy in the mixed dentition. This national database contains 38,529 children who had at least one comprehensive orthodontic (mix...

Diagnosis A 12-year-old male in the late mixed dentition was referred by his dentist for orthodontic treatment. Initial examination revealed a skeletal and dental Class II malocclusion with a retrognathic mandible, a severe overbite, moderate overjet, and mild malalignment of both arches, including rotations and generalized spaces in the mandibular arch (Fig. 1). The facial type was hypodiverge...

BACKGROUND The orofacial musculature plays a pivotal role in maintaining a balance in positioning of the teeth and any imbalance which occurs in this , results in malocclusion. Lingual frenum is a soft tissue structure which tethers the ventral surface of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. OBJECTIVE This study was performed to analyze the lingual frenal lengths in skeletal class I, class I...

Introduction: Variation in tooth morphology widely influences the achievement of optimum esthetics and stable occlusal relationship. This study was conducted to compare collum angle labial crown root angles class I, II division 2 malocclusions, using cephalometric radiographs, find a correlation between these angles. Methods: cross-sectional from March 2018 January 2021 among patients visiting ...

Results of orthodontic Class II malocclusion treatment can be influenced by inherent characteristics such as patient age, malocclusion severity and degree of compliance, or even by factors regarding the orthodontist’s subjective preference such as the treatment protocol. Basically, Class II treatment protocols involve nonextraction or extraction of two or four premolars. However, a greater trea...

C II malocclusion, which affects approximately one-third of patients seeking orthodontic treatment, often reflects both dental and skeletal deviations from the norm.1-3 Because it frequently involves excessive overjet,4 it is easily recognized by lay persons, leading to its overrepresentation in orthodontic practices. According to the National Health and Nutrition Estimates Survey III, in which...

Background: Malocclusion is dentofacial growth deviation from its normal size and shape, thus causing abnormal occlusion. One of etiology heredity. Removable twin block, a functional appliance that can be used in interceptive orthodontic treatment, to treat Class II malocclusion with large overjet children during skeletal development. Case: An 11-year-old boy came pediatric dental specialist cl...
