Dr. Pickard provided a great service for his patient with full correction of the openbite. Yes, if the patient opted for orthognathic surgery, a more esthetic facial outcome and ideal occlusal results may have been accomplished. However, as Dr. Pickard points out, we all face a decision to refuse to treat if the patient does not want to proceed with the ideal treatment plan or to try to get the best results given restrictions presented by the patient. In this case a functional occlusion was obtained and the patient was thrilled with the results. DR. MICHAEL PICKARD received his dental degree from the University of California at Los Angeles and went on to obtain his certificate in Orthodontics and a Master’s Degree in Science from Baylor College of Dentistry. Prior to dental school, he was a petroleum engineer, after completing a Bachelor’s Degree and Graduate Studies in Mechanical Engineering at BYU. He has served in the past as a trustee and president PCSO Bulletin Case Report Editor: Andrew Harner, DDS, MS (Huntington Beach, California) For Pre-Treatment of Case E. B., see page 29. of ASDA.
