Abstract

Case report of a 19 year old male patient who presented with a skeletal Class II malocclusion associated with 100% deep overbite, vertical maxillary excess, incompetent lips and a hyperdivergent growth pattern. Fixed orthodontic mechanotherapy using preadjusted edgewise appliance along with segmented arch mechanics and mini implants, was used for the correction of the malocclusion and to achieve an optimum soft tissue balance. The treatment outcomes achieved were; correction of overjet and overbite, correction of class canine and molar relation and competency of lips resulting in improvement of facial esthetics.
