ABSTRACT This clinical case report describes the orthodontic treatment of an 8-year and 9-month old female patient with Angle Class I malocclusion, anterior crossbite and canine Class III relationship. Orthodontic treatment was carried out in two stages. The first one was orthopedic, while the second one included the use of a fixed appliance and the need for space gain for reshaping of maxillary lateral incisors. The two-stage treatment combined with multidisciplinary Restorative Cosmetic Dentistry allowed excellent esthetic and functional outcomes to be achieved. This case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (BBO) as a requirement for the title of certified by the BBO.

Bruxism merupakan suatu kebiasaan parafungsional berupa gerakan menggertakan dan menggerus gigi. Tidak jarang pasien yang mempunyai kebiasaan bruxism memerlukan perawatan ortodontik. Perawatan bruxism dapat dilakukan bersamaan dengan perawatan ortodontik cekat. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa efek Trainer for Braces (T4B) pada pasien bruxism yang memerlukan perawatan ortodontik cekat. Pasien perempuan usia 21 tahun, mengeluhkan gigi berjejal dan tidak rapi. Pemeriksaan objektif menunjukkan bidental protrusi, crowding rahang atas dan rahang bawah, deep overbite, konstriksi berat pada regio gigi premolar dan molar rahang atas dan rahang bawah, 47 linguoversi dan disertai bruxism. Maloklusi Angle Kelas I dengan hubungan skeletal Kelas I, bidental protrusi, overjet 3,7 mm, overbite 4 mm, crowding, edge to edge bite, cross bite dan bruxism. Pasien dirawat menggunakan alat ortodontik cekat teknik Edgewise dengan alat tambahan Lingual Arch Bar untuk ekspansi rahang dan koreksi 47 yang linguoversi dan Trainer for Braces (T4B) untuk bruxism. Setelah 8 bulan perawatan, crowding rahang atas dan rahang bawah terkoreksi, ekspansi rahang dapat tercapai, 47 yang linguoversi terkoreksi, overjet dan overbite berkurang menjadi 3,5 mm, perawatan pada pasien masih berlangsung hingga saat ini. Kombinasi perawatan ortodontik cekat dengan penggunaan alat tambahan seperti Trainer for Braces (T4B) efektif untuk membantu koreksi maloklusi pada pasien bruxism. ABSTRACT: Edgewise Technique Combined with Trainer for Braces for Bruxism Patient. Bruxism is a parafunctional habit of grinding and clenching the teeth. It is common for patients with fixed orthodontic treatment to experience bruxism. When dealing with these patients, clinicians could initiate the bruxism treatment in conjunction with the orthodontic treatment. This case report will analyze the effects of Trainer for Braces (T4B) in a patient with malocclusion and bruxism habit. A 21 year old female patient complained of her crowding in upper and lower anterior teeth. The objective examination shows protrusion and crowding in upper and lower teeth, deep overbite, severe maxillary and mandibulary constriction, 47 linguoversion and bruxism habit. Angle Class I with skeletal Class I malocclusion, bidental protrusion, overjet 3.7 mm, overbite 4 mm, crowding, edge to edge bite, crossbite and bruxism habit. The orthodontic treatment used fixed preadjusted Edgewise appliance with Lingual Arch Bar for expansion and lingoversion molar correction. Trainer for Braces (T4B) was also prescribed to treat her bruxism. After 8 months of treatment, the crowding in upper and lower teeth was corrected, dental arch expansion was achieved, linguoversion molar was corrected, and overjet and overbite became 3.5 mm and the treatment was still on going. The combination of fixed preadjusted Edgewise appliance with Trainer for Braces (T4B) can be considered as an effective therapy for correcting malocclusion in bruxism patient.

Class I malocclusion also called neutro-occlusion, this describes a normal molar relationship but there is malposition of one or more individual teeth. Treatment of Class I malocclusion varies depending on the condition and severity. However, the purpose of this report is to review the orthodontic treatment of a Class I malocclusion with buccally placed canine without extraction. This case report describes a 13-year-old girl with a Class I malocclusion, anterior and posterior crossbite, a retrusive maxilla with high canine. The Class I malocclusion with posterior crossbite was corrected with quad helix followed by non extraction orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances to correct anterior crossbite. At the end of treatment we obtained an acceptable occlusion relationship and the facial profile and the patient's smile were improved substantially.Ban J Orthod & Dentofac Orthop, April 2014; Vol-4 (1-2), P.20-22

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.

We describe the treatment of a girl, age 18 years with Class II div-2 malocclusion with deep bite and crowding. Treatment consisted mainly of bite opening, 1st premolars extractions, canine retraction, arch co-ordination, leveling and alignment with Edgewise fixed appliances by multiloop technique. However the treatment resulted in Class I incisor relation with proper alignment of upper and lower anterior segment, an ideal overjet, overbite and incisor angulations.

Mandibular incisor extraction for orthodontic treatment is considered an unusual treatment option because of the limited number of patients that meet the criteria for such treatment. Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning is essential to achieve the desired results. Adult orthodontic patients are increasingly motivated by esthetic considerations and reject the idea of conventional fixed appliances. In recent years, Invisalign appliances have gained tremendous attention for orthodontic treatment of adult patients to meet their esthetic demands. In this case report, a case of Class I malocclusion was treated with mandibular incisor extraction using the Invisalign appliance system. Successful tooth alignment of both arches was achieved. The use of Invisalign appliance is an effective treatment option in adult patients with Class I malocclusion that requires incisor extraction due to moderate to severe mandibular anterior crowding.

Crowding and protrusion are some of the most common dental cases worldwide. The patient was a 20-year-old female who consulted for severe crowding, protrusion, and deep bite. Clinical examination and cephalometric measurement showed Class I skeletal and proclined incisor. Two step retraction technique was used to correct the condition. Management of tooth tissue discrepancy by the extraction of four premolars is one of the options in the treatment of crowding.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the skeletal pattern and angle class with the occlusal plane (OP). This study also examined the effect of orthodontic treatment on this plane. Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs of a sample of 135 patients were collected. The angles between the Frankfort horizontal, palatal plane (PP), mandibular plane (MP), and the OP were analyzed and compared between several groups and subsequently before and after treatment. Results: The statistical comparison between 3 skeletal frame groups demonstrates that the cant of the OP showed a major difference. This difference was greater in class III subjects. Examination revealed that the OP was not meaningfully affected within the Angle classification. Statistically, a significant correlation was found between OP steepness and the vertical skeletal pattern. A significant rise of OP/sella-nasion (SN) for class I (p=0.019) and II (p=0.015) after orthodontic treatment. In addition, patients treated with elastics showed a significant decrease of OP/MP (mandibular plane) in Angle class III and considerable increase of OP/SN and OP/PP in Angle class II. Observations of the group treated with bimaxillary extractions showed that OP/SN (sella nasion line) and OP/PP differ in a meaningful way. Conclusion: This study confirms the association between the skeletal pattern and the OP inclination in adults. Concerning the Angle classification, there was no significant difference between the groups. Orthodontic therapy had an influence on the inclination of this plane for the different malocclusions. Premolars extraction in class I cases significantly modified the OP. For class II and III malocclusions, the OP inclination was mainly altered by the use of intermaxillary traction elastics.
