Abstract

This paper describes the clinical orthodontic treatment of two cases that were successfully entered for the 2008 intercollegiate MOrth cases prize. The first case describes the management of a 12‐year‐old female with an increased overjet treated using a Dynamax functional appliance followed by fixed appliances. The second case involves the management of a class II division I malocclusion complicated by an unerupted maxillary central incisor and a mandibular first molar of poor prognosis.

Keywords:

• Pre‐adjusted edgewise appliance
