Class II correction

The orthodontic resolution of Class II malocclusion involves designing mechanics to distally move teeth with a number of orthodontic appliances. This lecture aims to convince clinicians that severe Class II malocclusion can be. The orthodontic resolution of Class II malocclusion involves designing mechanics to distally move teeth with a number of orthodontic appliances. This lecture aims to convince clinicians that severe Class II malocclusion can be treated with the appropriate application of bite turbo, Class II elastics and IZC screws. These simple tools together form a consistent force system that requires little patients` active compliance and avoids many of the challenges presented by conventional treatment modalities, such as extra-oral headgear and functional orthopaedic appliances. Detailed treatment processes will be presented to enhance clinicians` skills in executing this treatment method.

Learning objectives:

– After this lecture, you will be able to design a simple force system utilizing TADs, Class II elastics and self-ligation system for Class II treatment.– After this lecture, you will be able to conduct differential treatment to varying types of Class II malocclusion.– After this lecture, you will be able to utilize a number of practical tools to the treatment of skeletal or dental Class II malocclusion.
