Progenia (mesial bite) refers to severe forms of dental anomalies. With this form of sagittal malocclusion, along with a change in the ratio of the jaws and dentition, functional and aesthetic disorders occur. However, there are few works devoted to the study of long-term results of treatment of progenia [1, 2, 4, 5]. This is probably due to the fact that studies require the repeated call of previously cured patients who are already reluctant to come for examination. Long-term experience has shown that long-term results of orthodontic treatment can be studied on average only in 30% of cured patients.
