MESSAGE BOARD 1 Class 3 Growing Patient A doc aims to offer treatment to a patient going through a growth spurt, but first asks for Townie feedback SNP15 Post: 1 of 8 4/12/2023 Hi, everyone. This 16-year-old patient has been on recall with me since 2020. The initial pics are from 2020 and the second set of records are from yesterday. He has clearly grown in three years. We have discussed surgical treatment, which is why I have kept him on recall. He is very particular, though, and quite unhappy about U2s and has asked me at every appointment if anything can be done to improve those now. I believe the right thing is to keep him on recall until growth is complete for final treatment options, but he is adamant about doing something now. Would anyone consider exo U/L 5s to improve proclination and overbite/overjet? A part of me was even thinking to bond upper arch only to extrude U2s, warn that the bite will not improve and plan for surgery when growth is done. Will I regret all this when he outgrows all of this? Thank you! 2020 2023 JUNE 2023 | 18 | ORTHOTOWN.COMhttp://www.ORTHOTOWN.COM
