Severe dental crowding was treated with surgical expansion and tooth extraction. This combined approach achieved satisfactory occlusion, though future cosmetic surgery may be considered.

Area of Science:

Orthodontics
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

Severe maxillary and mandibular crowding presents complex orthodontic challenges.
Skeletal expansion is a key consideration for managing severe dental crowding.

Observation:

A patient with severe crowding underwent sequential surgical procedures: surgically assisted palatal expansion and mandibular midline osteotomy.
A hybrid appliance (Hyrax screw and miniplates) was utilized for mandibular expansion.

Findings:

Initial skeletal expansion via surgery was insufficient to fully relieve the crowding.
Subsequent extraction of three premolars was necessary to achieve a satisfactory final occlusion.
The treatment resulted in a satisfactory occlusal outcome.

Implications:
