Treatment of Adult II Deep-Bite Patients with Preadjusted Lingual Appliances and Intermaxillary Lingual Elastics

ENRICO ALBERTINI DDS, PAOLO ALBERTINI DDS, LUCA LOMBARDO DDS, GIUSEPPE SICILIANI DDS

Dr. Albertini and colleagues describe the potential for en-masse molar distalization in adult Class II patients using anchorage from interradicular palatal miniscrews. A case is shown in which the STb Light Lingual System was used with Class II elastics to provide esthetic treatment
