Reliable use of the gingival crevicular fluid ALP collection and quantification, both in research and diagnosis on an individual basis, should take into account relevant errors, and variations are to be considered as true only above relevant thresholds.

With an overall success rate of 98.8%, the study hypothesis that greater insertion torque (>10 Ncm) will decrease the success rate and increase palatal OMI failure was rejected.

In this case report, Authors describe the correction of a class II malocclusion using only an Herbst appliance palatally anchored with miniscrews. Before sagittal correction in the same appliance we applied a palatal screw to obtain maxillary expansion. The device were removed after 12 months of treatment. The final result included the correction of Class II malocclusion by lower dentoalveolar compensation mainly. The lip function favorite the spontaneous correction of upper frontal torque with consequent improvement of facial esthetics. After a follow up of 12 months the clinical result is satisfactory in terms of occlusion and esthetics. This clinical case showed a simple orthopedic and dentoalveolar approach to correct transversal discrepancy, dental class II malocclusion and also frontal proclination only with one appliance in a very short treatment time.
