Camouflage orthodontic treatment of skeletal class II malocclusion with dental-facial asymmetries and missing teeth. Clinical case report.

Camouflage orthodontics is a treatment alternative based upon rendering moderate or light dental-skeletal anomalies less evident through instauration of  merely dental-alveolar  movements. Mandibular asymmetries  are a special group of maxillary anomalies  which develop at embryonic  stage as well a...

description Camouflage orthodontics is a treatment alternative based upon rendering moderate or light dental-skeletal anomalies less evident through instauration of  merely dental-alveolar  movements. Mandibular asymmetries  are a special group of maxillary anomalies  which develop at embryonic  stage as well as  after birth. They can be due to hyper- or hypo- growth of a hemi-mandible, or by a combination of both. Retained canines  are a relatively common dental eruption anomaly in general population. This represents, among other collateral problems, a root integrity risk for adjacent teeth.
