Abstract

Class II division 2 malocclusion cases are usually challenging to treat with very limited treatment modalities. Growth modification, with the use of functional appliances, is often the ideal treatment in growing patients. In non-growing patients, orthognathic surgery is the treatment of choice, which most patients refuse either due to financial or other concerns. Orthodontic camouflage, with or without extraction is then the only option left, but it also carries a risk of soft tissue compromise, thus management of Class II division 2 cases requires a careful treatment planning. Here, in this case series, we have tried to show the treatment of Class II division 2 cases, with upper premolar extraction and different mechanics, leading to satisfactory post treatment outcomes.
