| Popis: |
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. |
