An 8-year-old boy with both permanent upper central incisors in crossbite; there is an anterior mandibular displacement on closure on 1̲/1̲ and a 5mm overbite on these incisors. 6edc21 are present in each quadrant.

1. Adams’ clasps 6̲/6̲.
2. Adams’ clasps d̲/d̲.
3. Posterior capping.
4. Z-spring(s).

An upper removable appliance incorporating these components is required to correct the anterior crossbite.

An 11-year-old female presented with a class II division 1 malocclusion on a moderate skeletal class II pattern with reduced vertical dimensions complicated by an increased overjet (11mm), increased overbite, generalized spacing and bi-maxillary proclination.

The aetiology of this malocclusion is multi-factorial.

The moderate skeletal class II discrepancy resulted in an increased overjet and class II molar relationship. The overjet was exacerbated by the presence of a lower lip trap. The generalized spacing was a result of an underlying dento-alveolar disproportion. This was compounded by bi-maxillary proclination, which arose due to resting soft tissue pressures and dento-alveolar compensation.

TREATMENT PLAN

• Integration of twin block functional and sectional lower fixed Herbst appliancee
• Continuation of functional appliance wear at night
only
• Use of headgear
• Inter-arch class II elastic traction following fixed
appliance placement

The prognosis for long-term stability of class II correction is good in this case, as the new maxillary incisor position will be controlled by the lower lip following the achievement of lip competence.

1. Head is tilted backwards
2. Anterior open bite
3. Increased overjet/ Proclined anterior teeth
4. Crowding seen in anterior segment 
5. Supra erupted posterior 
6. Posterior crossbite
7. Narrow maxilla and deep palatal vault
8. Xerostomia = prone to caries
9. Gingival recession
10. Bleeding from gums
11. Narrow nasal passages

1. used for mesiodistal tooth movement. 
2. Active arm is 12 mm and retentive tag is 3-5mm. 
3. Placed along long axis of the tooth which has to be moved. 
4. If tooth is to be moved mesially, direction of helix will be distal
5. The finger spring is activated by moving the active arm towards the teeth intended to be moved. This is done as close to the coil as possible.
6. Activation of upto 3 mm is considered 
7.
