The orthodontic treatment of a 16 years old patient with Crohnʼs Disease (CD) is reported.The patient was diagnosed since the age of 10 years with CD and was undergoing therapy with immunosuppressant agents. She had a severe high-angle skeletal Cl II with gummy smile and a retruded profile. Treatment with 2 posterior and 2 anterior mini-screws with 4 premolar extractions was conducted. Oral breakouts of the disease were triggered by the orthodontic treatment that had to be progressively molded to fit the patientʼs health conditions. A counter-clockwise rotation of the mandible and enhancement of patientʼs profile were achieved. Gummy smile was fully corrected. The interactions of the therapy with immunosuppressant agents, and oral breakouts of CD with treatment progress, results and duration are discussed.
