Abstract

IBO case 6 Hyperdivergent Class II: What is the key to occlusal and esthetic success?

by Delogu Pierluigi

Hyperdivergent Class II: What is the key to occlusal and esthetic success? Pierluigi Delogu, Fausto Fiorile The authors analyze the literature and, through clinical case studies treated with techniques aimed at controlling the effects of multi-bracket therapy, describe the objectives to achieve maximum results and optimize treatment for the most complex Class II cases with unfavorable growth patterns. They will demonstrate skeletal and dental indicators that can assist and guide clinicians in modulating forces and tooth movements so as to avoid compensatory occlusal camouflage with questionable esthetic results. The key to success lies in controlling verticality in the posterior regions, avoiding extrusions, and maintaining the occlusal plane, which prevents clockwise rotation of the system. The divergence angle, the facial height index and the inclination of the occlusal plane represent parameters that must be carefully evaluated for the prognosis of these patients. Using techniques that avoid unwanted movements allows the clinician to achieve optimal results even in cases with unfavorable skeletal typology.
