Abstract:
Extractions are commonly used to alleviate moderate to severe crowding, retract protrusive incisors, or correct anteroposterior inconsistencies in the maxillomandibular area. The choice of which teeth to be extracted requires a thorough assessment of the dentition of the patient, taking into account treatment objectives, dental and periodontal properties as well as ease of mechanics with minimum iatrogenic effects. This case report discusses the successful treatment with myofunctional appliance of a growing patient with skeletal Class II malocclusion followed by fixed mechanotherapy involving atypical teeth extraction.

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
