R.M is a 11.10 y.o female patient, denied any medical history. complaining of protruding and mal-aligned teeth .She has class II intermediate incisor relation based on class II skeletal relation with poor O.H .complicated by increased overjet (7mm) , deep overbite , upper mild crowding , lower mild crowding , extracted LL6 , she has class II canine and molar relationship on both sides . Crossbite on left 1st premolars . Lower midline shift.

Pathological problems : Dental :- Poor oral hygiene.

- Gingivitis , plaque deposition. -extracted lower left 6.

Patient’s chief complaint: -lower midline shift 2mm to Rt.

-protruded and mal-aligned teeth. - cross bite on left 1st premolar.

Developmental problems: - increased overjet ( 7mm).

Skeletal : - class II intermediate incisor relation.

-mild asymmetry. - class II canines & molars relation.

-class II skeletal base (retrognathic mandible). - deep incomplete overbite.

-increased LAFH. -mild crowding in U and L arches.

Soft tissue : -rotated ul1,3,5,6 ,ur 6,lr4.

- Convex profile. - lingually tilted UL4.

- Increased frontonasal angle (obtuse)

- Reduced labiomental angle. (acute)

Improve oral hygiene. Stabilization of periodontal health. Correct pr’s chief complaint ( protrusion and mal-alignment). Accept the mild facial asymmetry. Correct skeletal class II relationship. Accept slightly increased LFH. Improve facial profile and labiomental angle. And accept obtuse

frontonasal angle. Correct lower dental midline shift. Correct the crossbite on left 1st premolars. Achieve normal Overjet.(2-3 mm) Achieve normal Overbite. Achieve class 1 incisor relationship. Achieve class 1 canine and molar relationship on both sides. Relief crowding in upper and lower arches. correct rotated teeth(ul1,3,5,6 ,ur 6,lr4) and lingually tilted UL4. Finishing and detailing of the occlusion. maintain the corrected results.

Phase 1: growth modification (functional).- Oral hygiene instructions

- Referral to periodontics clinic for maintenance of periodontal condition.

- Twin block appliance.

Phase 2: Re-evaluate the case after phase 1 .- Upper and lower Fixed applinace MBT slot 0.022.

- Retention.

URA:• Adam’s clasps on the 4s and 6s.• torquing spurs on upper incisors without labial

bow.• Midline Jack screw. • Blocks on 4, 5,6. (7-8 mm thickness and 70-75

degrees angle with occlusal plane.)

LRA: • Adam’s clasps on 4s.• Lower incisor capping. • blocks on 4s and 5s at an angle of 70 -75 degrees to

the occlusal plane and 7-8 mm thickness.

After phase 1 : : inclined anterior bite plane (8 mm depth , 70 degrees inclination.)

After phase 2 : -short term : upper Hawley retainer, lower VFR.( full

time wear for 6 months, night time wear for another 6 months)

- A fixed A-splint retainer (heavy intracoronal wire) to keep the space of LL6. directly at debondingvisit.

- long term : Upper and lower bonded retainers from 3-3 (braided steel wire of 17.5 mil.

Growth modification > functional appliance::

- growing patient.

-class II skeletal base with retrognathic mandible

- moderate to severe class II intermediate with no incisors compensation .

-normal MMPA with increased overbite.

- minimal crowded arches.

- Class II canine and molar relationships.

- Increased overjet.

OHI : patient has poor oral hygiene . Referral to periodontics clinic: patient has

gingivitis with visible plaque deposits .

Twin block appliance: • Robust • Easy to repair• Easy to activate.• Relatively well tolerated by the patient because it is

two pieces that is not interfering with function. • Expansion is easy by a midline screw• Incorporation of auxiliary and headgear is easy.

Torquing spurs:

- To impede further eruption of upper incisors (deep bite) .

- To minimize retroclination of upper incisors which are already crowded and with normal inclination.

Lower incisor capping:

- To impede further eruption of the lower incisors (deep bite).

No clasp on lower molars:

To permit eruption of the molars ( deep bite).

Inclined anterior bite plane:

- to retain functional appliance results during transition to fixed appliance .

- allow settling of the occlusion.

- Maintain transverse correction.

Upper and lower Fixed applinace .

We need 3D teeth movement.

MBT prescription is preferred::

- It correct LLS and ULS inclination.

- Less rebound effect because of zero tipping of U6 and U3.

- Compensation for tipped molar due to expansion by increased palatal root torque of buccal segment.

Open space for LL6:

- the third molar still not evident ( normal) and we can not guarantee that it will be present and in good position and angulation to replace the second molar .

Long term bonded retainer (3-3)::

- In upper arch to retain the derotaion of upper left incisor.

- Lower arch to minimize late incisor crowding.

A- Splint (heavy intracoronal wire)::

- The best choice to maintain space for posterior restoration.

- Reduce the mobility of teeth and makes it easier to place a fixed bridge (if it is the choice).

- It will be definitely required as a fixed retainer if implant is to be placed because of the long period before an implant can be placed.

Full records

Take impresion for Twin Block appliance and functional bite with 2mm seperation at incisors (deep bite) with the patient biting edge to edge.

Delivery of the appliance and instructions

After finishing the functional phase deliver the inclined anterior bite plane to retain functional appliance results during transition to fixed appliance

Then bonding of the fixed appliance MBT prescription on lower arch first.

Alignment with superelastic 0.016”niti wire. The normal sequence of wires until reaching rigid S.S 19*25 wires. Then we bond the upper arch and follow the same sequence.

Opening the space of LL6 with niti coil springs.

TMA wire for finishing and settling of the occlusion .

Debonding and impression taking for upper hawley and lower VFR . And bonding of A-splint retainer ( heavy intracoronal wire) between LL5 and LL7.

The bonding of upper and lower fixed retainer from 3-3.

Referral to prosthodontics clinic to arrange for prosthetic replacement of LL6 at the appropriate age.
