The treatment study group of the BSSO. A case report.
Orthodontic treatment succeeded in correcting the incisor relationship by a combination of retroclination of the lower labial segment by 2 degrees with a reduction of 1.5 mms in APo and a proclination of the upper labial segment by 7 degrees. There would appear to have been little change in the underlying skeletal pattern. The increase from 1 to 4 in the WITS analysis appears to be related to the downward and anterior change in inclination of the functional occlusal plane. Apart from a possible slight increase, there appeared to be little change in the Skeletal III pattern during retention and the subsequent 33 months. The incisor relationship held with a compensatory proclination of the upper labial segment. The functional occlusal plane reverted partially to its original inclination with a reduction in the WITS analysis to 2.

Is digit sucking of significance?
A brief review of the literature of digit sucking is followed by the report of a study of 68 treated Class II division 1 malocclusions, designed to attempt to clarify the significance of digit sucking in their aetiology. Case histories of two of the patients from the study are briefly discussed to illustrate the range of changes seen.
