Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this article is to present a case treated with elastodontic appliances.
Materials and methods
The patient, who was in the active growth phase, presented a severe deep bite (skeletal class II), which required orthopedic treatment to stimulate and guide mandibular growth. She was treated with an OCCLUS-o-GUIDE® type H, which is designed so that the mandible in the set-up is advanced 5 mm from the maxilla into a Class III relation.
Results
Treatment with the elastodontic appliance resulted in clinical and radiographic resolution of the malocclusion.
Conclusions
The use of elastodontic appliances can be a valid treatment option for the resolution of skeletal class II deep bite in growing patients.
