Abstract

Over the long time, increasing numbers of patients have become aware of orthodontic treatment and are demanding high-quality treatment, in the shortest possible time with increased efficiency and reduced costs. Orthodontic treatment aims at normal functional occlusion balance with the supporting structures and environmental musculature. Class I malocclusions can be treated by several means, according to the characteristics associated with the problem, such as tooth material-arch length discrepancy, patient’s profile, and dentition as a whole in relation to the cranial base determines teeth to be extracted as well as patient compliance.⁽¹⁾ Correction of Class I malocclusions in non-growing patients usually involves selective removal of permanent teeth, with subsequent dental camouflage.
