Lingual orthodontics: perfect union of aesthetic treatment with biomechanical efficiency: a case report

Abstract

The aesthetic treatment of dentoalveolar biprotrusion is one of the greatest challenges for the orthodontist. The present article aims to show an approach in an adult patient with Class I malocclusion associated with a biprotrusion who did not wish to have the aesthetics of her smile compromised during orthodontic treatment. The treatment plan consisted of installing a lingual orthodontic appliance to distalize the upper and lower teeth through absolute anchorage. At the end of the treatment, the malocclusion was corrected efficiently, aesthetically and quickly.
