Closure of multiple maxillary diastemata in a patient with deep overbite and accentuated curve of Spee - Case report

摘要

Clinical extraoral and intraoral photographs and radiographs of our case. (A, B and C) Initial extraoral photographs. (D) Initial lateral cephalometric radiograph with tracing and analysis showed Class II molar relation and protruded incisors and lips. (E) Initial intraoral frontal view with brackets in place from previous treatment. (F) Initial intraoral frontal view with deep curve of Spee. (G, H and I) The upper, lower, and left buccal view photographs before receiving our treatment. (J, K, L and M) Intraoral frontal, upper, lower, and left buccal view photographs 10 months of treatment. (N, O and P) Final extraoral photographs with pleasant smile. (Q) Final lateral cephalometric radiograph with tracing and analysis showed Class I molar relation, normal overjet/overbite, and harmonious lateral profile. (R, S, T, U and V) Follow-up intraoral frontal, upper, lower, and left buccal view photographs showed stable overjet and overbite one year after treatment. (W) Superimposition of initial and final cephalometric tracings illustrated 4-mm intrusion of lower incisors and 4 mm retraction of upper incisors. The everted lower lip has been retracted closer to the E-line.
