Background: Orthognathic surgery without a well-coordinated orthodontic plan can compromise aesthetic and functional outcomes, potentially necessitating complex orthodontic retreatment.
Case Presentation: This case report presents a 28-year-old female with residual extraction spaces and upper incisor proclination following a failed bimaxillary anterior segment osteotomy. Clinical examination revealed a convex profile, Class I skeletal base relationship, hyperdivergent facial pattern, full-cusp Class II subdivision on the left side, excessive overjet, and significant lower dental midline deviation. Treatment involved digitally planned straight-wire lingual appliances combined with miniscrew anchorage to distalize the entire upper arch and lower right quadrant, while mesializing the lower left quadrant. This approach successfully corrected the malocclusion, achieving a solid Class I relationship, normal overbite and overjet, and a harmonious profile.
Conclusions: This case highlights the effective management of complex malocclusions arising from suboptimal orthognathic surgery through a combination of miniscrew-assisted distalization and mesialization techniques, aided by digital planning and lingual appliances.

How the dorsal thalamus of amniotes (reptiles, birds, and mammals) is organized remains an important but incompletely answered question. Identification of meaningful subdivisions would greatly aid in its understanding. Because the dorsal thalamus is more simply organized during development, studies have examined this structure during embryogenesis.

Background: Parkes Weber syndrome (PWS) is a rare congenital vascular syndrome characterized by complex capillary malformation , venous malformation, lymphatic malformation, and arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the affected limb with overgrowth; the latter is a pathognomonic feature that differentiates it from Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Cardiovascular complications include increased cardiac output, which promotes the onset of heart failure and the development of pulmonary hypertension (PAH), significantly impairing the quality of life due to severe functional class deterioration. However, these complications are currently treatable by ligation or removal of malformations.

Background The condyle-fossa relationship is essential for smooth, pain-free jaw movement, relying on symmetrical and balanced condyles. However, this relationship may vary in individuals with malocclusions. Despite its clinical significance, few studies have examined the three-dimensional aspects of condyle morphology and position in class II division 1 malocclusion, and there is a lack of comprehensive data on its subdivision.

Introduction: Class II subdivision malocclusions are common and challenging to treat due to their asymmetry. The range of orthodontic correction devices is expanding toward systems that may offer more comfort for patients but often lack scientific evidence supporting their efficacy. The objective of this study was to evaluate, for the first time, the effect of a Class II correction device, the Carriere Motion (CM) combined with palatal canine bite turbos, in adult patients with Class II subdivision malocclusion.

Treatment of Class II subdivision can present a challenge for the clinician because of its asymmetry and possible midline deviation. This case report documents the use of a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) surgical guide for miniscrew placement in a Class II subdivision treatment. A 17-year and 1-month-old female presented with a skeletal Class I relationship, but mild mandibular skeletal and dental midline shift to the right relative to the facial midline.
