Abstract
We herein report on the orthodontic management of a patient, a female of age 14 years and one month, who showed increased overjet and decreased overbite with mandibular backward rotation due to idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) during orthodontic treatment in a private practice. She was referred to our clinic for improvement of her malocclusion. An Angle class II division 1 and open bite with mandibular backward rotation were present. The orthodontic retreatment continued with caution against overloading the TMJs. Currently, the occlusion has been stable for a 19-month retention period, and no functional problem has occurred at the TMJs. Monitoring of jaw growth and development until they cease, and observation of the change of dentition and occlusion, should be required.
