Tongue thrusting and thumb sucking are the most commonly seen oral habits which act as the major etiological factors in the development of dental malocclusion. This case report describes a fixed habit correcting appliance,Hybrid Habit Correcting Appliance(HHCA), designed to eliminate these habits. This hybrid appliance is effective in less compliant patients and if desired can be used along with the fixed orthodontic appliance. Its components can act as mechanical restrainers and muscle retraining devices. It is also effective in cases with mild posterior crossbites.

Esthetically pleasing face with harmonious soft tissue profile, stable occlusion and pleasant smile are important goals of orthodontic treatment. This case report along with the treatment results is of Class I bimaxillary protrusion malocclusion treated with fixed orthodontic appliance after extraction of all first premolars. The orthodontic treatment involving extraction of premolars brought about good esthetic changes in the face and dentition resulting into improvement in the soft tissue profile, occlusion and attainment of a more harmonious smile and dentofacial esthetics.

Deleterious oral habits, such as non-nutritive sucking or tongue thrusting, if not intercepted at an early stage can cause complex malocclusions. This manuscript describes a clinical case report of a successful interception of a severe anterior dental open bite caused by thumb sucking and tongue thrusting habits. The case involved a six-year-old female patient treated with the use of palatal spurs and maxillary removable crib followed by monitoring the development of dental occlusion. At the end of the interceptive phase acceptable results were achieved, showing the efficacy of the treatment undertaken as well the importance of an early intervention to remove harmful oral habits.

Abstract Aims and Objectives: Deep bite is one of the common malocclusion which has a varied of etiologies; this case report includes correction of deep bite with help of anterior bite plane. Materials and Methods: One post pubertal patient of age 15 years with proclined maxillary incisors with class II skeletal and class II molar treated with fixed orthodontic appliance with anterior bite plane. Results: It resulted in favorable skeletal and dentoalveolar changes. Midlines were coinciding, molars were in class I relationship and smile was improved. Conclusion: Using anterior bite plane corrected class II deep bite in patient, corrected lip trap and proclined maxillary incisors.

Maxillary Central diastema is common and normal for the growth and development of the anterior segment. If the central diastema persists after the eruption of the permanent cuspids, the orthodontist should clarify the etiology and establish a treatment plan. This case report discusses a 22-year-old woman with anterior crossbite and central diastema due to a high maxillary labial frenulum attachment. Treatment was performed using a fixed orthodontic appliance with a posterior bite raiser. Frenectomy was performed at the end of the orthodontic treatment.

The aim of this work is to present a case report where an osteointegrated implant was used as skeletal anchorage unit in association with fixed orthodontic appliance in the treatment of an adult patient with vertical asymmetrical skeletal discrepancy. In this case report, the pre-existing osseointegrated implant in the region of element 21 was used as an aid of skeletal anchorage for the leveling of the upper occlusal plane by means of the straight-wire technique, Capelozza standard I slot .022 ", using the sequence of arches of nickel-titanium thermo-activated .014 ", .016", .017 "X.025" and .019X.025 ", followed by the steel arch .019" X.025". The results presented in this report demonstrated the osteointegrated implant as a good option, when used as anchorage resource to help orthodontics, providing better conditions of comfort and esthetics, as well as simplifying the technique.

Background. Class III malocclusions are considered to be ones of the most difficult problems to treat. Their causes are multifactorial and include genetic and/or environmental factors. Class III malocclusions are generally classified into 2 categories: skeletal and dental. The diagnosis is important due to the different treatment approaches. Generally a dental class III can be treated with orthodontics alone, while a true skeletal class III requires a combination of orthodontics and surgery. Case report. We presented a female patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion. The treatment was complete with positive overbite and acceptable occlusion using a combination of fixed orthodontic appliance treatment as well as the surgical operation. The patient was happy with her new appearance and function. Conclusion. Class III discrepancy should be diagnosed and classified according to its etiology and treated with appropriate surgery, including, if necessary, not only mandibular, but also maxillary surgery, in order to achieve a normal facial appearance. In any case, as the field of orthodontics continues to develop technologically and philosophically, we can expect that advances in diagnosis and treatment planning are imminent and inevitable.
