Vol. 12 – Número 48 – 2019 Case report Página 64-73 Class II malocclusion treatment in concave profile – rehabilitation with implants or space closures? Jéssica Ferreira de Almeida1 Laynara Karina Bueno2 Danilo Pinelli Valarelli3 Fabrício Pinelli Valarelli4 Guilherme Janson5 Mayara Paim Patel6 Abstract It is known that the Class II malocclusion is the most frequent in orthodontic practice. Some cases present a higher level of complexity due to the patient age and its aesthetic, occlusal and functional impairment. This article aims to describe a case report of an adult patient with bi-retrusion, concave profile and full bilateral Class II malocclusion which was corrected with intermaxillary elastics. At the end of the treatment, it was observed sagittal malocclusion correction, associated with occlusal rehabilitation, providing a favorable masticatory function with satisfactory facial profile aesthetic and smile harmony.
