✨ Class II Subdivision + Open Bite Correction ✨
This young patient presented with a Class II subdivision relationship, an anterior open bite, unilateral posterior cross bite, crowding of anterior teeth and habits like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting that contributed to the malocclusion.
Using a combination of advanced orthodontic techniques, we achieved a healthy, stable, and beautiful smile in just 16 months 👇

Treatment Highlights 🦷
🔹 Damon Self-Ligating Appliance
Light, biologically friendly forces for efficient alignment and arch development.
🔹 Tongue Spurs
Helped eliminate the persistent tongue thrusting habit, allowing the bite to settle correctly.
🔹 Infrazygomatic Crest Screw (IZC) for distalization
Provided excellent skeletal anchorage to correct the Class II discrepancy without extractions or headgear.
🔹 Expansion of the Maxillary Arch
Corrected the unilateral crossbite and improved overall arch coordination.
🔹 Habit Correction:
Breaking the thumb-sucking and tongue-thrusting patterns was crucial in ensuring the long-term stability of the correction.
