Correction Of A Lingual Tipped Mandibular Second Molar With Miniscrew Orthodontics – Case Report, Chun-Hung Yu, Sam Sheng-Pin Hsu, Yang-Ming Chang

A case of a 14 y/o male patient with a lingually impacted mandibular right 2nd molar was presented. After the third molar was extracted, a closed coil spring was used to connect the impaction to a miniscrew inserted in the nearby buccal shelf. Throughout the treatment process, all orthodontic appliances were hidden underneath the flap. The advantage of this closing flap technique is that it improves patient comfort while minimizing irritation to the surround muscle and soft tissue. Treatment options for uprighting lingually impacted mandibular 2nd molar, clinical considerations of orthodontic miniscrew placement, and design of biomechanics were also discussed.

A case of anterior open bite with facial asymmetry is presented. The un-expected anterior open bite and retrusive mandible occurred shortly following orthognathic surgery (LeFort I - 3 pieces + Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy + genioplasty). The anterior open bite was then successfully corrected with miniscrew orthodontics.Possible causes of post-surgical anterior open bite and the treatment options were discussed comprehensively.
