Model No. 555. Female. Age 8 10/12ths.
Diagnosis:—
Unilateral distoclusion. Thumb sucker.
Report of the Royal Dental Hospital Orthodontic Specialist —
I advise immedia:e operation of Tonsils and Adenoids.
At present all that can be done is to stop the thumb sucking,
and push forward the lower incisors. This might be done by using
a plate which extends over the crowns of ed | de to take the bite,
and is provided with screws or plugs to push out 21 | 12; or a
similar plate carrying springs might serve In any case this is a
difficult operation. Later, when the bicuspids are through, a small
amount of expansion and a small amount of retraction of 1 j 1
might improve the appearance.
