Le syndrome de Brodie unilatéral désigne une anomalie des relations occlusales transversales, souvent accompagnée d’une asymétrie faciale. La prévalence de ce type de malocclusion est faible, et rencontré surtout en denture mixte. La correction orthodontique nécessite une maîtrise biomécanique pour le rétablissement de l’articulé.
Nous rapportons le cas d’une jeune fille présentant une exo-alvéolie supérieure unilatérale d’origine dysfonctionnelle associée à une classe II squelettique. L’activation asymétrique d’un bi-hélix en contraction a permis de normaliser l’occlusion transversale avant d’aborder la correction des rapports sagittaux.
Unilateral Brodie bite, called also Scissor bite, is a form of transversal malocclusion that often leads to minor facial asymmetry. The prevalence of this form of malocclusion is rare, especially met in mixed denture.
We report a case of 11-year-old girl who presents unilateral scissor bite related to oral habits, with a skeletal class II. Modified activation by contraction of a bi-helix appliance was used to treat the unilateral scissor bite occlusion, before approaching the correction of the sagittal relationship.
