Orthodontic management of a patient with cherubism: A case report.
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics 2018 September
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this case report was to present the successful orthodontic treatment of an adolescent girl with cherubism.
METHODS: The patient began treatment after puberty. Necessary extractions were performed, and she had full-arch treatment of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. A series of archwires was used in a timely manner to create an adequate arch form and close the interdental spaces. Once treatment was completed, retention was ensured with a maxillary spring aligner and mandibular fixed retainer.
RESULTS: Maxillary alignment and an adequate arch form were achieved, and mandibular treatment was limited to the anterior segment. The patient finished treatment with an esthetically pleasing smile.
CONCLUSIONS: There have been few reports of orthodontic treatment for a patient with cherubism. This case report provides evidence that complete or limited orthodontic treatment can be provided to these patients to improve facial esthetics and bolster their self-esteem.
