Trattamento di una II classe dento-scheletrica con l’ausilio delle miniviti in dentizione mista

Abstract

Objectives

To demonstrate how class II malocclusion can be corrected with the aid of miniscrews, without the patient's cooperation, by exploiting the growth differential to improve skeletal relationships.

Materials and methods

Miniscrews were used to provide anchorage during multibracket treatment of dentoskeletal class II malocclusion in a patient with mixed dentition (vertebral bone age CS1).

Results

Dentoskeletal class II malocclusion was corrected rapidly – without the patient's cooperation – using upper-arch bonding alone.

Conclusions

Miniscrews can be a useful aid for achieving rapid, early correction of dentoskeletal class II malocclusion in noncompliant patients.
