CASE No. 7.
Female. Age 9 7/\2ths.
TYPE OF MALOCCLUSION. Class III. Upper incisors and canines in lingual occlusion.
This is a similar type of case to Case No. 6, but much more difficult to treat by means of
removable appliances.
TREATMENT
The treatment was commenced by fitting an inclined plane
to the lower incisors.
This appliance forced the upper incisors forward. When
these teeth had been advanced to a certain degree a similar
plate to the one used in Case No. 6 was inserted to
complete the treatment.
I consider that it is an achievement to have obtained a successful result in this case at a
School Orthodontic Clinic.
N.B.—The ages recorded in these cases is the age of the patient at the commencement of the
treatment.
