A few treatment options for class II malocclusions include: Functional appliance which maintains the mandible in a postured position to influence both the orofacial musculature and dentoalveolar development prior to fixed appliance therapy.
The Herbst appliance is indicated for the noncompliant treatment of Class II skeletal malocclusions with retrognathic mandible [8] b) and in high angle patients due to the increase in sagittal condylar growth, c)in patients with deep anterior overbite d)in cases of mandibular midline deviation e) n mouth breathers due to the lack of ...
Molar distalization is a process in the field of Orthodontics which is used to move molar teeth, especially permanent first molars, distally (backwards) in an arch.This procedure is often used in treatment of patients who have Class 2 malocclusion. [1]
One high-quality randomized controlled trial compared early and late treatment of Class II division 1 malocclusion with functional appliances. Although differences were found between treated patients and untreated controls after the initial phase, following a second phase of treatment there was no lasting difference in terms of skeletal pattern ...
Angle classification: Class II Division 1 Angle classification: Class II Division 2 Angle classification: Class III. Angle's Classification is devised in 1899 by father of Orthodontic, Dr Edward Angle to describe the classes of malocclusion, widely accepted and widely used since it was published.
The use of functional appliances to correct Class II malocclusion can also have psychological benefits. O’Brien at el. (2003) found that early treatment using Twin-block appliances increased the patient's self-esteem and resulted in reduced negative social encounters. [9]
It is commonly used to correct malocclusion, specifically Angle's Class II (overbite) and Class III (underbite) malocclusions, improving the patient's bite and chewing function. The procedure can also address vertical discrepancies, such as vertical maxillary excess (long face syndrome) or deficiency, which affect facial height and the amount ...
Pendulum is an orthodontic appliance, developed by James J. Hilgers in 1992, [1] that use forces to distalize the upper 1st molars to create space for eruption of impacted teeth or allowing correction of Class 2 malocclusion. This appliance is a fixed type of distalizing appliance that does not depend on the compliance of each patient to work.
