The dental overjet, in subjects with skeletal class II, division I, malocclusion represents one of the difficult problems to resolve for the orthodontist. We describe a case of dental overjet reduction, treated with the Lingual Elevator by Balercia (ELIBA). This orthodontic approach, convenient for patients, can help the orthodontist to solve complex cases of dental overjet.
