Case 1
Crowding
Profile
Gender & Age
Female / 23 years old
Chief Complains
Crooked Teeth
Initial condition
Moderate crowding in both arches, maxillary protrusion, class II relation
Treatment Plan
No. of Stages
10
Chief Complains
Upper and lower
Expanders
Expander to create space to solve the crowding and to give a better shape the maxillary arches
Results
Treatment duration
10 months
Chief Complains
U shape arches, aligned theeth, improvement in the overjet and buccal relation
Initial condition
Use of expander avoided need for IPR or protrusion
Case 2
Anterior Crossbite
Profile
Gender & Age
Female / 24 years old
Chief Complains
Upper teeth behind the lower ones
Initial condition
Maxillary incisors in crossbite. Class I molar relationship bilaterally. Minor crowding.
Treatment Plan
No. of Stages
07
Chief Complains
Upper and lower
Expanders
Expander to create space to solve the crowding and to give a better shape to maxillary arches. Proclination to solve the crossbite.
Results
Treatment duration
10.5 months
Chief Complains
Corrected anterior crossbite and crowding. Buccal relationships were maintained.
Initial condition
Use of expander avoided need for IPR
Case 3
Deep Bite
Profile
Gender & Age
Male/29 years old
Chief Complains
Deep bite
Initial condition
Increased overbite and overjet, crowding in the mandibular arch, class I relation
Treatment Plan
No. of Stages
7
Chief Complains
No
Expanders
Protrusion of the maxillary incisors
Results
Treatment duration
8 months
Chief Complains
Aligned teeth, improvement in the overjet and overbite, buccal relation maintained
Initial condition
Protrusion of the mandibular incisors improved the deep bite and made IPR not necessary
Case 4
Open Bite
Profile
Gender & Age
Female/25 years old
Chief Complains
Gaps and open bite
Initial condition
Diastema between #11 and #21, #32 and #33, increased overjet and negative overbite, decreased interincisor angle. Presence of #85 due to agenesis of #45
Treatment Plan
No. of Stages
7
Chief Complains
No
Expanders
Retrusion of the incisors without changing the buccal relation
Results
Treatment duration
8 Months
Chief Complains
Gaps closed, improvement in the overjet, overbite of 0 mm
Initial condition
Relative extrusion of the incisors to improve the overjet and overbite
Case 5
Anterior Crossbite with Crowding
Profile
Gender & Age
Female/35 years old
Chief Complains
Crooked Teeth
Initial condition
Moderate to severe crowding in both arches, #12 and #22 in cross bite, rotated maxillary central incisors, mandibular incisors retroclined, class I relation
Treatment Plan
No. of Stages
10
Chief Complains
Upper and lower
Expanders
Skeletal class III tendency
Results
Treatment duration
12 Months
Chief Complains
Aligned teeth, correction of the cross bite, maintained buccal relation
Initial condition
IPR performed to create space to solve the crowding
