CASE STUDY Fig. 5 Treatment Objectives ᕡ Level and align all teeth to a balanced fully inter-cuspated molar, premolar, and canine to a Class I occlusion with proper overjet and overbite. ᕢ Close all spaces while main-taining the proper anterior posterior position. ᕣ Open the bite and reduce the over jet. Treatment Plan ᕡ Straight wire brackets on the upper and lower arches (.022 slot Roth Rx with hooks on canines, premolars, and molars). ᕢ Arch wire sequence: .012 niti, .014 niti, .018 niti. .020ss., 16x22niti, 16x22ss, and 19x25 Beta titanium. ᕣ Check leveling and alignment at each appointment. Fig. 6 ᕤ Consolidation of spacing and correcting anterior posterior position to offset the over jet and over bite. ᕥ Finish case to a Class I Occlu-sion. ᕦ Hawley retainer with clear acrylic around front wire and permanent retainers bonded on upper lateral and central incisors and bonded from canine to canine on lower arch. Estimated Treatment Time 14-16 months Case Summery and Analysis S.A.’s dental Class I maloclussion was treated using .022 slot Roth Rx straight wire bracket prescription with hooks on the canines, premo-lars and molars. The initial arch wire was a .012 niti to begin the initial leveling and aligning. Followed by the .014niti, .018niti, and .020 ss. Once the .020ss is placed, lower power chain was placed to set the lower arch while the upper arch was tied in with safety ties. After all the spacing was Fig. 7 38 Fall 2019 JAOS
