An American Board of Orthodontics case report: the orthodontic-surgical correction of a Class II malocclusion with anterior open bite. Academic Article

abstract

• This is the case report of a 39-year-old woman who presented with a skeletal Class II malocclusion, anterior open bite, and chronic temporomandibular disorder. Small maxillary lateral incisors and moderate mandibular anterior crowding led to the treatment plan, which involved extraction of a mandibular incisor. A combined orthodontic-surgical treatment plan resulted in greatly improved occlusal function and in a reduction of the patient's temporomandibular disorder symptoms.
