-

 Diagnosis:

    A female patient came with the chief complain of forwardly placed upper front teeth. The extraoral examination reveals mesoprosopic faceform, mesoocephalic headform, convex profile, incompetent lips, acute nasolabial angle. The intraoral examination shows Class II molar and Class II canine relation on right side with spacing in upper anterior & crowding in lower anterior teeth. Diagnosis is Angle's Class II Division I malocclusion with subdivision on left side, spacing in upper anterior & crowding in lower anterior teeth.

Treatment Objectives: 
  • To correct proclination of upper anterior teeth
  • To achieve ideal overjet and overbite
  • To close spacing in upper anterior teeth
  • To relieve crowding in lower anterior teeth
  • To correct Class II molar and canine relation on right side
  • To improve profile
  • To correct nasolabial angle
  • To correct smile

Treatment Plan: 
  • Extraction irt 14,24,34,45
  • Leveling and alignment 
  • Space Closure
  • 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 initial leveling and alignment process is started. 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. After the leveling & alignment is completed, extraction of all first premolars are performed. Then retraction is started on 0.019 x 0.025 SS wire by sliding mechanics. Class II elastics are given right side to correct right side Class II molar relation. Elastomeric chain is changed every six weeks. After space closure, finishing is done on 0.019 x 0.025 braided SS wire by settling elastics. The overall treatment duration is approximate 1.5 year. After removal of orthodontic appliance, removable essix retainer are given.







Treatment Results: 

    The post treatment photographs showed Class I molar and canine relation, ideal overjet and overbite, average nasolabial angle, competent lips, well coordinated arches. The profile is also improved. The pleasing smile is obtained with proper interdigitation of occlusion.

Doctors are also human being. Doctors attribute to their profession behind closed doors. As patients, we are so overwhelmed with our own problems. We fail to notice that our doctor may be battling her own problems with a complicated system. They are stuck in a systemic mess. Patients bargaining and don’t pay up regularly. Medico Legal threats. Costs are rising in every things day by day but when doctors rise treatment costs, they have to give justification so much. Life-and-death ethical dilemmas. Burnout. Loss of value in society. Doctors are nudged and hassled in a system from which there’s no way out. Yet, they are held to one of the highest performing standards of any profession. It’s tough being a doctor today.

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...
