A fixed partial appliance approach towards treatment of anterior single tooth crossbite: Report of two cases

Extraction vs Nonextraction Approach for Skeletal Class III in Growing Individuals: A Case Series

“…6 The literature provides a wide range of treatment options for the developing skeletal class III malocclusion. From myofunctional appliances such as reverse bionator, 7 double plate appliance with facemask, 8 and modified tandem appliance, 9 orthopedic appliances such as chin cap therapy, 10 mandibular cervical headgear, 11 facemask alone 12 and palatal expansion device with custom protraction headgear 13 to fixed posterior bite plane, 14 and anterior guiding plane 15 along with fixed appliances. The various treatment modalities are planned based on the degree of growth potential present, the growth pattern, degree of skeletal malocclusion, facial profile and divergence, lip competency, lip strain, dental intra-arch and interarch relationships, habits, and other environmental factors.…”

“…Fixed appliance proved to be simple and effective method in the treatment of incisor malocclusion, with not much laboratory cost and armamentarium used. 14 The NiTi archwire used was majorly responsible in correcting the incisor relation and it is the masterpiece of the mechanic here. This was contributed to its superelasticity, shape memory property, and its ability to deliver continuous forces.…”
