The use of functional jaw orthopedics, at the correct time during growth, can ultimately result in malocclusion patients achieving a broad beautiful smile, an excellent functional occlusion, a full face with a beautiful jaw line and lateral profile. Following is a case report of a young growing individual with mandibular retrognathia. Treatment was planned in two stages with the use of twin block during the first phase for correction of skeletal malocclusion and forward positioning of the mandible, followed by the second phase of fixed pre-adjusted edgewise orthodontic appliance for camouflaging the remaining skeletal discrepancy and achieving a stable harmonious occlusion.
在生长发育的合适阶段使用功能性颌骨矫形器,最终可使错颌畸形患者拥有宽阔而美丽的笑容、良好的功能咬合、轮廓优美的全脸以及漂亮的下颌线条和侧貌。以下是一例下颌后缩的年轻生长发育期患者的病例报告。治疗计划分两个阶段进行,第一阶段使用 Twin-block 矫治器矫正骨骼性错颌并使下颌向前定位,第二阶段使用固定直丝弓正畸矫治器掩饰剩余的骨骼差异并实现稳定和谐的咬合。
