Abstract

|
|
Skeletodental asymmetries are common and asymmetric orthodontic treatments are very difficult to correct successfully.
The cause of asymmetries can be the skeletal asymmetry, dental, or functional, or combinations of these causes.
Skeletodental asymmetries can be the result of congenital factors, such as hemifacial microsomia and environmental factors, such as trauma. Optimal treatment outcome of the severe facial asymmetry requires the orthognathic surgery. Mild asymmetry problem can be treated by only orthodontic treatment. The orthodontic treatment of asymmetry is usually difficult. Facial asymmetry orthodontic treatment are primarily based on proper diagnosis and careful treatment planning. Side effects of asymmetric elastic to treat midline discrepancies are canted occlusal plane, tipped incisors and unesthetic results. In the management of dental arch asymmetries, the clinician should select the appropriate force system and the appliance design necessary to address the asymmetry while minimizing undesirable side effects. This report presents treatment strategies for the treatment of skeletodental asymmetry. In this case report, the clinical case with midline discrepancies treated by optimal mechanics is described. Through diagnosis and strategic treatment mechanics can obtain proper midline correction with minimal side effects.
