Treatment of Dental Class-II, Division 2 Malocclusion Associated with a Deep Anterior Overbite: A Case Report Orthodontic Camouflage

Aim: This study sought to correct the assessment of orthodontic camouflage treatment to provide a harmonized soft-tissue profile, consistent occlusion, and a pleasant smile.Background: Class-II, division 2 malocclusions can be treated through dental compensation and growth modification methods instead of surgical-orthodontic treatment, which can be determined by the growth and age of the patient.Case description: This case report was of a 14-year-old Chinese female whose chief complaint was crowding of anterior teeth and required treatment for the same.On necessary clinical and radiographical examination, diagnosis of convex facial profile with class-II, division 2 malocclusion was arrived and hence treated with orthodontic camouflage.On treatment completion of 33 months, cephalometric assessment revealed that the anterior maxillary teeth had been successfully intruded and substantially distalized, with a slight counterclockwise rotation of the mandible.The treatment results and profile changes were demonstrated with good patient cooperation.Conclusion: Using a utility arch with orthodontic camouflage treatment can help to reinforce molar anchoring and improve a deep bite in the maxillary dentitions.The patient was treated with the devised treatment plan and acceptable results were obtained with patient satisfaction as recorded after 1 year of follow-up.Clinical significance: To correct a maxillomandibular discrepancy, an orthodontist may conduct a process known as camouflage therapy without necessity of surgery.However, patient selection forms a crucial role, and hence systematic arrival of the diagnosis and treatment protocol is a pivotal factor.
