This case report presents a comprehensive and minimally invasive approach that combines fixed orthodontic mechanics with lip myofunctional training to address both dental and muscular components of the malocclusion.
The report highlights how targeted myofunctional therapy can enhance treatment stability by improving lip competence and muscle balance, which are often underlying contributors to Class II discrepancies.
By integrating biomechanics with functional re-education, the clinician was able to achieve effective correction of overjet and occlusal relationships while preserving dental structures—an increasingly valuable strategy in adult orthodontics.
