[Clinical case. Correction of Angle Class I with biprotrusion]

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Orthodontics
• Craniofacial Biology

Background:

• Orthodontic treatment involves complex mechanics to achieve desired tooth and soft tissue changes.
• Bioprogressive Therapy offers a systematic approach to orthodontic treatment planning.
• Understanding treatment-induced alterations is crucial for predicting outcomes.

Observation:

• This case report details the dentoalveolar and soft tissue modifications following orthodontic intervention.
• The treatment mechanics employed sectional arches, guided by Bioprogressive Therapy principles.
• Cephalometric analysis, including Ricketts analysis and superimpositions, was utilized for assessment.

Findings:

• The orthodontic treatment resulted in notable dentoalveolar changes, affecting tooth position and bone support.
• Significant alterations in soft tissue profile were observed post-treatment.
• Cephalometric superimpositions quantified the extent of treatment-driven changes and concurrent growth influences.

Implications:

• This case highlights the efficacy of Bioprogressive Therapy with sectional arches in managing dentoalveolar and soft tissue dynamics.
• Cephalometric analysis provides valuable insights into treatment outcomes and the interplay of growth.
• Findings contribute to the understanding of orthodontic treatment effects on facial aesthetics and function.
