Management of Skeletal Class III malocclusion by Camouflage Orthodontic Treatment

-

Diagnosis:

    A female patient came with the chief complain of irregularly placed upper front teeth. The extraoral examination reveals mesoprosopic faceform, mesoocephalic headform, concave profile, competent lips, average nasolabial angle. The intraoral examination shows Class I molar relation, Class I canine relation with anterior crossbite, rotations in central incisors, decrease overjet and overbite. Diagnosis is Angle's Class I malocclusion with anterior crossbite on Skeletal Class III bases.





Treatment Objectives: 
  • To correct crowding in upper anterior
  • To achieve ideal overjet and overbite
  • To correct anterior crossbite
  • To improve profile
  • To correct nasolabial angle
  • To correct smile

Treatment Plan: 
  • Non-Extraction
  • Leveling and alignment 
  • IPR in upper anterior
  • Finishing and detailing

Treatment Progress: 

    The orthodontic treatment is started with banding and bonding in upper and lower arches with standard 0.022 inch MBT preadjusted edgewise appliance. The posterior bite block is given to open the bite and relieve anterior crossbite. The initial leveling and alignment process. After crossbite is correct, posterior bite block is removed. Interproximal reduction is performed on upper anterior teeth.  The sequential change of arch wires were 0.016 nickel‑titanium (NiTi), 0.017 x 0.025 NiTi, 0.019 x 0.025 NiTi, 0.019 x 0.025 SS. Finishing is done on 0.019 x 0.025 Braided SS wire by settling elastics. After removal of orthodontic appliance, lingual fixed retainer is given.

Treatment Results: 

    The posttreatment photographs showed Class I molar relation and canine relation, ideal overjet and overbite, corection of anterior crossbite, well coordinated arches. The nasolabial angle is improved. The pleasing smile is obtained with proper interdigitation of occlusion.

What is the right age of Orthodontic Treatment?

The answer is: it depends!  There are several factors that should taken into consideration before making a decision to start orthodontic treatment.  But before we get into that, there are three important things you should know: 1. Permanent teeth start growing around 6 years of age The first permanent teeth to grow are the first molars which grow behind the very last milk molar tooth. Central incisors (front teeth) are the first teeth to replace the milk teeth. 2. It takes around 5-6 years to complete the transition from milk teeth to permanent teeth Most children get their full set of permanent teeth around age 12-13 years. 3. A child's age is not always an accurate indicator of dental development This means that some children develop and grow their teeth quickly while others do not. There are a variety of causes for delayed dental development and in most cases they are not given an importance and concern as long as permanent teeth grow eventually. Every child should be seen by a

Bridges are false teeth anchored in place by neighbouring teeth. The bridge consists of two crowns on the anchoring teeth along with the false tooth in the centre. Dental implants are artificial roots used to support replacement teeth. Crowns and Caps:      A crown or cap is a cover that fits over a tooth that has been damaged by decay, broken, badly stained or mis-shaped. It is prepared by your dentist, and usually requires more than one visit to complete.      A crown can be made of acrylic, metal, porcelain, or porcelain bonded to metal. All-porcelain crowns look more like your natural teeth, and therefore are usually used for front teeth, while porcelain bonded to metal is str
