Abstract

A 14-year-old girl with Class II Division 2 malocclusion and a severe deepbite, retroclined incisors in both arches, and extreme crowding in the mandibular arch was treated by orthodontic residents, with supervision of the clinical faculty, at the University of Illinois at Chicago. A visualized treatment objective (VTO) was developed for the patient and used to select the best treatment alternative.
