PATIENT CASE: NGUYEN MINH HUNG (14 YEARS OLD) – ORTHODONTIC JOURNEY AT NHU NGOC DENTAL CLINIC

1. Initial condition

Nguyen Minh Hung (14 years old) visited Nhu Ngoc Dental Clinic seeking orthodontic treatment to improve his smile aesthetics

Clinical examination revealed:

• Narrow maxillary and mandibular dental arches
• Tooth #15 positioned completely outside the dental arch
• Deep bite (increased overbite between upper and lower jaws)

These conditions affected oral hygiene, caused food impaction, and led to an unaesthetic smile.

After comprehensive evaluation, a personalized orthodontic plan was developed:

• Extraction of four first premolars (#5 teeth)
• Space closure and dental arch alignment
• Correction of bimaxillary protrusion and bite relationship
• Moderate anchorage control in both jaws
• Self-ligating ceramic braces system
