Surgery, growth modification or orthodontic camouflage? Brian's case
Dental Update
|August 26, 1998
Abstract:
A skeletal class II malocclusion can be dealt with in a number of ways. The preferred option is to use orthodontic treatment and growth modification if at all possible, but in cases where this is not possible the problem might be camouflaged or treated by surgery. In the case reported here the options are fully discussed and the opinions of the orthodontists expressed in the CASES project made clear. The actual treatment undertaken is also described.
