Introduction: “Brodie Syndrome” is a rare form of transverse malocclusion characterised by excessive occlusion of lateral zone, named after Allen G Brodie.
To correct the brodie bite present on the right molar region using a non-surgical approach with an innovative Hyrax Dysjunctor appliance.
Case Report: A 20 years old female patient, presented with a chief complaint of irregularly placed upper front teeth. She presented with Class II skeletal base with mandibular retrognathism, Angle’s Class I molar relation on left side, Brodie bite on right side and CLASS II canine relation on both sides. The patient was treated by using a Hyrax Dysjunctor followed by MBT mechanotherapy.
Results: Brodie bite was corrected with deep bite correction bringing the canine relation in CLASS I and molars in Angle’s CLASS II relationship.
Conclusion: Brodie bite can be corrected using a non-surgical innovative approach using Hyrax Dysjunctor appliance.
Keywords: Case report, Brodie bite, Hyrax Dysjunctor appliance.
