Abstract :
The asymmetrical intra-arch relationship in Class II subdivision malocclusion poses challenges in the treatment planning and
mechanotherapy of such cases. This case report demonstrates a treatment technique engaging unilateral extraction of a maxillary
first molar and Begg fixed appliances. The outcome stability and the enhancing effect on the eruption of the third molar in the
extraction segment were confirmed by a 4-year follow-up examination.
