贝克肌营养不良症，类似于杜氏肌营养不良症，是一种X染色体连锁异常，其特征是进行性肌肉萎缩和无力。已知Duchenne型有严重的开牙合，下颌平面陡峭，但没有研究描述贝克尔型的咬合和骨骼模式。在这里，我们报告正畸治疗贝克肌营养不良症患者。在矫正他严重的骨骼开咬时，全身麻醉或正颌手术不是一种选择。采用多曲方丝弓进行正畸治疗。3年零8个月后，开牙合得到纠正。在保持期间，前牙之间的接触保持积极治疗后8个月，尽管有显着的复发趋势。
Becker muscular dystrophy, similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is a X-chromosomal linked anomaly characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness. Duchenne-type is known to have severe openbite with a steep mandibular plane, but there are no studies that describe the occlusal and skeletal patterns of the Becker-type. Here, we report the orthodontic treatment of a Becker muscular dystrophy patient. In the correction of his severe skeletal open bite general anesthesia or orthognathic surgery was not an option. Multiloop edgewise archwires were employed for orthodontic treatment. After 3 years and 8 months the open bite was corrected. During the retention period contact between the anterior teeth was maintained 8 months after active treatment despite a marked relapse tendency.
