Abstract
- Interdisciplinary treatment of Class III malocclusion with congenital missing of unilateral maxillary canine and anterior crossbite is discussed focusing on a problem-oriented treatment planning, treatment progress, and treatment result. Maxillary mini-implant provided anchorage for distalization of the maxillary right porsterior dentition. Mandibular mini-implants were used to distalize the whole mandibular dentition. Total treatment time was 17 months to achieve a successful treatment goal. Stable occlusion was maintained after 12 months of retention.
