Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a chronic congenital form of erythrocytic hypoplasia in which erythroid precursor cell levels are low. DBA reflects ribosomal dysfunction and is accompanied by hematopoietic cell apoptosis, anemia, and various somatic symptoms. We report the characteristic symptoms of the craniofacial region and the orthodontic treatments of two DBA cases. Case 1 was a 12-year-old female. The typical physical and facial characteristics of DBA were lacking. On initial examination, she exhibited a skeletal Class II jaw and end to end molar relationships and a large overjet. An edgewise appliance was placed after extraction of the first maxillary premolars. After 3 years and 11 months, an appropriate overjet and overbite, rigid intercuspation, and an acceptable profile were evident without any clinical adverse effects. Case 2 was a 13-year-old female. She exhibited a skeletal Class I jaw relationship, a spaced dental arch, the maxillofacial dysplasia characteristic of Binder syndrome, hypoplasia of the right mandibular condyle, and labial protrusions of the maxillary and mandibular incisors. We placed an edgewise appliance and after 1 year and 7 months, the occlusion was optimal in the absence of any adverse effects. Our two DBA cases exhibited a broad spectrum of physical and dentofacial symptoms. Patients with DBA are often prescribed combined steroid/bisphosphonate therapies. Both agents are likely to affect alveolar bone remodeling after tooth extraction and orthodontic tooth movement. Careful consideration of medication with reference to various dentofacial characteristics is necessary.
