This document presents an orthodontic case presentation for a 13-year-old female patient with the chief complaint of her teeth being too forward. The patient has a class II malocclusion with increased vertical dimension and compromised smile esthetics. The proposed treatment plan is non-extraction with growth modification using high-pull headgear to correct the skeletal discrepancy. The treatment aims to correct the dental and skeletal problems through fixed appliances and stripping of the lower incisors. Retention will involve short-term Hawley retainers and long-term lingual retainers to prevent relapse.

50. Diagnostic Summary
• I.S 13yrs, 3 months old female pt , MF. Patient has poor OH,
complaining of the position of her anterior teeth that are too
forward. History of trauma on her anterior upper teeth when she
was 9, UL1 RCTreated.
A class II,div1 malocclusion on a class II skeletal base with increased
vertical dimension. She has a symmetrical face with incompetant
lips, obtuse labiomental fold and compromised smile esthetics.1/2
unit Class II M.R and C.R on both sides.
OJ is 4.5mm, OB is average incomplete. Complicted by lower
midline shifted 1mm to the Rt side. Upper arch has mild crowding,
and lower arch very mild crowding, with 1.5mm curve of spee

51. Problem List
Pathological problems:
– Pathological problems:
• Poor OH
• Plaque accumulations on the buccal surfaces of posterior teeth
• Poor UL 1 composite filling
• History of trauma; UL1 intruded
• Developmental problems:
Patient’s concern: the position of teeth ( too forward)
• Smile esthetics: compromised smile complicated by intruded UL1
• Soft tissue: Clinically convex profile
• Obtuse labiomental angle
• Incompetant lips
Alignment and symmerty:
o Slightly proclined lower incisors
Upper arch with mild crowding
o Rotated upper first premolars
Skeletal and dental problems in A-P plane:
• class II skeletal relationship
• OJ= 4.5mm
o Incisor class II, div 1
o ½ unit class II canine relationship both sides
o ½ unit class II molar relationship both sides
Skeletal and dental problems in transverse plane:
lower midine shift to the right <1 mm
Skeletal and dental problems in vertical plane:
o Increased LFH

52. Treatment Aims
• Improve Oral hygiene
• Correct position of anterior teeth AP (C/C) (( Achieve class I Incisor Relationship))
• Correct position of anterior teeth Vertically ; align them on the same level
• Correct skeletal relationship into class I
• Correct high vertical dimension
• Correct incompetant at rest lips
• Improve the smile by creating more normal gingival relationships (gingivoplasty UL2) and less incisal show
• Relief crowding in upper and align the teeth
• Achieve 2mm OJ
• Achieve class I canine relationship
• Achieve class I molar relationship
• Correct midline shift
• Finishing and detailing of occlusion.
• Retain corrected results
• Improve the appearance of the UL1 by restorative replacement

53. Treatment Plan
Growth modification; Non-Extraction
1. OHI
2. Refer to conservative department to redo UL1 filling
3. High pull headgear with TPA
4. Upper & Lower fixed appliance
5. Lower incisor stripping
6. Retention
7. Refer to periodontics department to do gingivoplasty

54. Retention Protocol
• Short term:
• Upper and lower Hawley retainers (full time wear for 6
months, night time wear for another 6 months)
• Long term:
• Upper and lower permenant retainers from 3-3 (braided steel
wire of 17.5 mil)

55. Justification
Growth modification:
Pt. is still growing
To restrain maxillary growth
Allow for mandibular autorotation and correct class II skeletal
relationship

56. Justification
High-pull headgear:
Increased LFH ( gummy smile)
Autorotation of the mandible
The pt. is motivated
Transverse anchorage prevent buccal rolling of upper 6s using headgear (TPA)

57. Justification
Non-Extraction :
• Depend on the growth modification for providing of space
• Minimal space required
• Almost aligned lower arch; space provided by lower anterior stripping and retroclination
• Mild crowding in upper arch; space provided by arch expansion by archwire
Fixed Appliance
• Bodily teeth movement is required.
• Alignment of teeth.
• Preserve / correct teeth torque.

58. Justification
• Lower incisor stripping :
Minimal space needed in the lower arch
Slightly proclined lower incisors

59. Justification
• RETENTION:
Long term (permenant retainer U 3-3 L 3-3)
Late mandibular crowding
To prevent relapse of the UL1 (intruded) and UL2 (rotated)
A-P change of the anterior teeth upper and lower
