Abstract:
The multidisciplinary treatment of a patient with a Class II malocclusion and an impacted maxillary central incisor is presented. Nonextraction correction of the distoclusion was achieved through mandibular growth and protraction of the mandibular first molars. Closed-eruption surgical exposure of the incisor, combined with soft-tissue revision posteruption, resulted in significantly improved facial esthetics.
