ABSTRACT
Male pacient, 17 years 2 months of age, with a slight facial assimetry and convex profile. He was a hyperdivergent skeletal class II with bilateral molar class I, bilateral cuspid class II, mild crowding on the upper and lower arches, OD 31 with a bucal possition, increased overbite, and normal over jet. It was determined as a treatment plan: the use of MBT technique slot 0.022, extraction of the first maxillary bicuspids and one mandibular incisor as an alternative for dental compensation due to the degree of crowding. Functional bilateral molar class II and a bilateral canine class I was obtained as well as anormal overbite and overjet, incisor guidance and harmonic smile.
