Orthodontics — Case 3

A 23-year-old Cambodian female was brought to Roomchang by her mother seeking orthodontic treatment. The patient had severe crowding on teeth #25–15 and #45–35 with Class II malocclusion, peg-shaped lateral teeth (#12 and #22) with palatal eruption and rotation. Teeth #34, #24, #14, and #44 were extracted to make space for the realignment. The molar teeth (#18, 28, 38, and 48) were also removed to improve functionality and oral hygiene while contributing to the aesthetic outcome, including the final face profile. Metal brackets were bonded on both upper and lower teeth. Total treatment time was two and a half years. The final result is a fully aligned, healthy smile with a significantly improved facial profile.
