TREATED CASE ONE |
This tutorial demonstrates the techniques used in the successful treatment of an adult patient with a Class III skeletal pattern, a midline discrepancy and an edge-to-edge incisor relationship.
The aetiology of midline discrepancies |
– three common causes and how to diagnose them – managing midlines in cases with true skeletal asymmetry |
Incorporating aligners into a treatment plan |
– using aligners to reduce the time with fixed appliances |
Arch wire form and sequencing |
– arch wire sequencing for effective tooth movement – the advantages of using customized working wires |
The surgical/non-surgical decision |
– the decision between one-jaw and two-jaw surgery – preparing the case for surgery |
Managing arch width discrepancies in Class III |
– arch wire modification when using cross-elastics – the skeletal limitations due to the cortical plate |
