Angle Class II malocclusion with severe anteroposterior disharmony

Jairo Curado de FREITAS

Angle Class II malocclusion is characterized by an anteroposterior dental discrepancy which may or may not be accompanied by skeletal changes. In general, distressed by a signifi cantly compromised facial aspect, patients tend to seek treatment. This case report was submitted to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO) as part of the board certifi cation process, as representative of Category 4, i.e., a Class II malocclusion with severe anteroposterior discrepancy and ANB Angle equal to or bigger than 5º (ANB  5°). The case involves an unusual event – the congenital absence of one lower incisor tooth.
