| description | Williams Syndrome (WS) is a rare
congenital and progressive multisystem disorder which is described with
specific systemic disorders, skeletal and dental abnormalities and tongue
thrusting. A 13-year-old patient applied to our clinic with complaining dental
caries, malocclusion and tongue thrusting. The patient was treated with a full fixed standard
edgewise appliance named as Mini Master Series from American Orthodontics
(Central Islip, N.Y., USA), 0.018
inch bracket slots) for
2 years and 8 months.
Despite poor oral hygiene, frequent
appointments helped to complete the orthodontic treatment of the patient
without caries formation. Also extraction of first molars with uncertain
prognosis provided social benefits when it was compared to healthy premolar
extractions. This case report presents the successful results of the
orthodontic therapy and difficulties of an orthodontic treatment of a patient
who was diagnosed with WS. |
