    Jumping here in this topic because I had a hard time with prompt 7.

    I agree just by looking to her profile I would like some anterior teeth retraction to improve lips position and convexity, as well as mentalis strain. But I get very confused when in some questions seems like ABO wants us to be guided by ceph norms and in other questions to be guided by our observation, so when I try to train myself to answer to their standards I end up like missing things like this, because I question myself thinking they will not want to read my clinical observation, but more likely the answer should be guided by the standard cephalometric norms. Does that makes sense?

    Also, considering the ideal treatment plan with extractions, wouldn`t we want to maintain upper and lower incisors torque and have more a translational movement for retraction? The inclinations of those teeth look good.

    Thank you!
