Self-Ligating Brackets: A Case Report

Abstract

This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a young male subject having Angle’s Class I malocclusion with
moderate crowding in both the arches and increased overjet. Since it was a borderline case and the patient was concerned
regarding the extractions, he was planned to be treated with non-extraction approach using Damon Clear system. At the end of
the treatment, molar relation was maintained as Class I bilaterally with ideal overjet and overbite. The total treatment duration
in this case was 15 months.
Key words: Angle’s Class I malocclusion, borderline case, Damon Clear system, self-ligating brackets
