An approach to class II division 2 treatment: a case report

A prevailing strategy for treating Class II Division 2 type malocclusions consists of converting these problems to division 1 malocclusions in the initial phase of treatment. As a result, an overjet is created increasing both treatment complexity and time. In this article, a case report is presented to illustrate an alternative approach that purposely avoids the conversion from division 2 to division 1. A protocol for treating Class II Division 2 malocclusions and advantages of this approach are described.
