Early Treatment for Class II Malocclusions

A comprehensive and effective method of Class II malocclusions in the early mixed dentition will be discussed based on a recent publication in the Angle Orthodontist. The presentation will demonstrate the method for Class II correction and how to maintain stability of the correction. The presenter will show how approximately 40% of Class II malocclusions treated early can avoid later Phase II full bonded therapy.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify concepts of comprehensive early orthodontic treatment.
• Preform effective correction of Class II malocclusions with Phase I therapy.
• Handle arch length deficiencies in the early mixed dentition.
