This case report details the treatment of a 23-year-old female patient with Class II division 2 malocclusion with a Class II skeletal base due to a retrognathic mandible. The condition was further complicated by a complete overbite, absence of tooth #36, and a gummy smile. The Forsus appliance has shown to be effective in correcting Class II malocclusion in adult patients, with significant improvements in bite and facial esthetics. The use of temporary anchorage devices for intrusion resulted in lower overbite and increased actual intrusion compared with alternative methods for intruding upper incisors.
本病例报告详细介绍了一名23岁女性患者的治疗情况,该患者因下颌后缩导致II类骨面型的II类2分类错牙合畸形。病情因深覆牙合、36号牙缺失和露龈笑而进一步复杂化。Forsus矫治器已被证明在矫正成年患者的II类错牙合畸形方面有效,在咬合和面部美观方面有显著改善。与其他上切牙压低方法相比,使用临时支抗装置进行压低导致覆牙合降低且实际压低量增加。
