more mild cases. Extractions may be needed.
There are three broad approaches to treatment:
more mild cases. Extractions may be needed.
more severe AOBs, where the jaws need to be surgically repositioned. Fixed appliances are also used.
Fixed appliances and orthodontic mini-implants (also mini-screws or Temporary Anchorage Devices-TADs). This also treats more severe AOBs. This is a more specialised treatment, which is not offered by the majority of orthodontists. TADs are then used to intrude (pull up) the back teeth and close the AOB. This is my area of expertise and a number of my own treated cases are demonstrated, including long term follow up pictures. AOB correction through molar intrusion is more stable than correction, which may be achieved through extrusion of incisors (pulling down front teeth) with elastics.
