An extended three-stage treatment to correct a severe skeletal and dental discrepancy

Aust Orthod J. 1999 Nov;15(5):320-4.

Abstract

A report of a case of extended treatment of a patient with severe mandibular retrognathism and an Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion. Initial fixed appliance treatment reduced incisor protrusion. A second phase utilising a Teuscher appliance achieved improved facial and dental relations through excellent mandibular growth. A third phase of fixed Edgewise treatment finalised dental relations.
