Orthodontic intervention in Fanconi's anemia: A case report

Abstract

The objective of this case report was to present the orthodontic treatment of an 8‐year‐old female patient with Fanconi's anemia and Class III skeletal pattern and agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors. Patient presented in the late mixed dentition with a Class III malocclusion with anterior and posterior crossbites. Rapid maxillary expansion and facemask therapy was performed for 12 months. Phase II was simplified with a 6 × 2 fixed appliance only in the mandibular arch for solving the anterior crowding. Maxillary canines were reshaped as lateral incisors and the central incisors were augmented for closing spaces. Although the systemic disease, orthodontic intervention is possible if individual limitations are considered and treatment is simplified.
