A long-term follow-up study of Class II malocclusion correction after treatment with Class II elastics or fixed functional appliances

Maxillary molar distalization therapy in adult patients: a multicentre study

“…7.5°AE 4.5°) were also observed. However, in agreement with previous studies (21,36), lower incisors proclined (4.1°AE 1.1), maxillary incisors retroclined (5.8°AE 3.9) and the occlusal plane rotated clockwise (1.8°AE 1.1); these changes were the main responsible of the overjet correction (4.3 AE 1.9 mm).…”

“…Furthermore, a smaller increase in vertical facial dimension (1.7° ± 0.5° vs. 2.0° ± 1.3°) and lower incisor proclination (4.1° ± 1.1° vs. 7.5° ± 4.5°) were also observed. However, in agreement with previous studies , lower incisors proclined (4.1° ± 1.1), maxillary incisors retroclined (5.8° ± 3.9) and the occlusal plane rotated clockwise (1.8° ± 1.1); these changes were the main responsible of the overjet correction (4.3 ± 1.9 mm).…”

Management of Severe Class II Malocclusion with Fixed Functional Appliance: Forsus

“…There are lots of questions about stability of class II correction with growth modulation. 7 In this patient, severe class II occlusion with 12 mm of overjet was very effectively treated to class I occlusion with very good posterior teeth intercuspation. Posttreatment results are absolutely stable one year after debonding (Figs 7A to C).…”

The effect of an anterior biteplate on dental and skeletal Class II correction using headgears: a cephalometric study

“…Class II malocclusions present with multiple combinations of dental, skeletal, and esthetic problems, each with its own set of solutions. Orthodontists have used a variety of mechanical approaches for Class II correction, including headgear (HG), functional appliances (1, 2), tissue, and implant‐supported intra‐arch molar distalization (3–5), and intermaxillary traction (6). Yet, the comparative effectiveness of these various treatment approaches remains incomplete.…”
