Patient 5
				Problem: Presented very young with a crossbite where all the top teeth bit outside the bottom teeth, with the bottom jaw far back Solution: Started out with a plate to constrict the top jaw and allow the teeth to bite; then a functional appliance to bring the bottom jaw more forward and finally braces to achieve ideal alignment and bite relationship Notes: The problem was extremely difficult to begin with and with the use of growth modification and guidance the final phase, the braces phase, was made quite simple and there is marked improvement of the profile and bite
Patient 6
				Problem:  Class II dental relationship with marked crowding and the back teeth forward in the upper with a deep bite Solution:  Headgear to begin with to create space and stop the back teeth coming forward, followed by full fixed braces to detail the occlusion Notes: The headgear allowed the permanent teeth to come through just before the loss of the baby teeth in the upper and alleviate the crowding. The final detailing was simplified because the bite was easier and eliminated extractions
