These cases illustrate the implementation of advanced orthodontic techniques, such as miniscrew-assisted intrusion of the maxillary and mandibular arches. The multifaceted nature of AOB must be considered, highlighting the need for clear diagnostic criteria and an understanding of the long-term impacts of treatment strategies. The main goal of treatment is to reduce the vertical dimension of the maxillomandibular complex. A single miniscrew in the midpalatal region for the maxillary arch and two miniscrews in the buccal areas of the mandibular arch can be applied for the effective intrusion of the posterior teeth. The review then delves into the specific challenges and treatment modalities for managing VME without AOB, stressing the critical role of individualized intervention plans. Each case study demonstrates a different aspect of the treatment approach: from differential intrusion of molars to address esthetic concerns and functional issues to comprehensive strategies involving the intrusion of entire dental arches to correct severe malocclusions. The outcomes emphasize the importance of controlled orthodontic mechanics in achieving and maintaining optimal posttreatment stability. This review underscores the effectiveness of these treatment strategies in significantly improving facial profiles and dental function while highlighting the adjunctive use of myofunctional therapy and other retention techniques to prevent relapse. Collectively, these cases provide valuable insights into the tailored treatment of complex orthodontic conditions, offering guidance on achieving long-term success in clinical practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48688,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Orthodontics","volume":"30 5","pages":"Pages 648-672"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141575199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
