INTRODUCTION
• E.H. ANGLE, in 1899 described
normal occlusion as an
• “Evenly placed row of teeth
arranged in a graceful curve
with harmony between the
upper and lower arches.”
Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir Bishara

• Angle stated the following:
• In normal occlusion, the
mesiobuccal cusp of the upper
first molar is received in the
sulcus between the mesial and
distal (middle) buccal cusps of
the lower first molar.

• The mesial incline of the upper
canine occludes with the distal
incline of the lower canine
• The distal incline of the upper
canine occludes with the
mesial incline of the buccal
cusp of the lower first
premolar.

CLASS II
MALOCCLUSIONS
• "Distal" relationship of mandible
to maxilla .
• The mesiobuccal cusp of the
maxillary first permanent molar
articulates mesial to the buccal
groove of the mandibular first
permanent.

HEADGEAR
• Used in cases of maxillary excess.
• Designed to deliver adequate
extraoral orthopaedic force to
compress the maxillary sutures.
TYPES OF HEADGEAR
a) Facebow b) J-hook headgear
ORTHOPAEDIC APPLIANCES

FACEBOW
• Consists of :
outer bow for extraoral
attachment
Inner bow for intraoral
attachment

J-HOOK HEADGEAR
• 2 separate, curved, large gauge wires with small
hooks at the ends.
• More commonly used for retraction of canines or
incisors.

• Point of attachment is usually below
the occlusal plane- the extraoral force
is directed inferiorly and posteriorly.
• Extrude molars.
• Cannot be used in patients with
vertical growth pattern.
• Used in cases in which an increase in
facial vertical dimension is desired.
Contemporary orthodontics, William Proffit
1. CERVICAL ATTACHMENT OR NECK
STRAP

• The point of attachment well above
the occlusal plane.
• Extraoral force is directed
superiorly and posteriorly.
• Intrude molars & steepen occlusal
plane.
• Correction of not only
anteroposterior maxillary excess,
but also to vertical maxillary excess
Contemporary orthodontics, William Proffit
OCCIPITAL ATTACHMENT OR HEADCAP

Magnitude of force:
• Orthopaedic forces to modify bone growth ranges from
400-600 g.
Duration
• 12-16 hours per day.
Timing of treatment:
• Most active period of growth is before eruption of
permanent teeth.
• The 2nd active growth phase is ‘adolescence’
• Result obtained would be good and relapse chances are
minimal.
• Headgear should be worn in the night as active growth
occurs at this time. Textbook of orthodontics by Dr. Samir Bishara

SKELETAL EFFECTS
• Compresses maxillary sutures
• Restricts downward & forward maxillary growth.
• Allows normal mandibular growth.
• Studies have shown- small increase in mandibular
growth with headgear.

DENTAL EFFECTS
• Prevents downward & forward eruption of maxillary
molar indirectly enhancing mandibular growth.
• High pull headgear -Intrusive effect on molar.
• cervical pull headgear- to extrude molar;
• If continues arch wire from molar to incisors- distal
movement of molar can result in lingual movement of
maxillary incisors.

REMOVABLE:
• Activator
• Bionator
• Functional regulator
• Twin block
FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCES
FIXED:
• Herbst appliance
• Jasper jumper
• MARA

INDICATIONS OF FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE
• Active mandibular growth.
• Mandibular deficiency.
• Normal maxillary development.
• Normal or mildly decreased face height.
• Slightly protrusive maxillary incisors and slightly
retrusive mandibular incisors.

ACTIVATOR
Developed by Viggo Andresen, Denmark and Karl Haupl
Norway. In1908
Introduces new way mandibular closure.
• EFFECTS:
1)Controls the downward and forward growth of
mandible.
2) Prevents forward growth of the maxillary
dentoalveolar process.
3) Distal movement of maxillary dentoalveolar process.
*Removable orthodontics, by Graber & Newman

CONSTRUCTION:
1) wire component:
labial bow 2)Acrylic portion:
BITE REGISTRATION:
• Mandibular advancement of 4 to 6 mm
• 5 to 6 mm opening in the molar region.

MODIFICATIONS:
• Modifications by Harvold includs an increased
mandibular opening for improved retention and
increased soft tissue stretch.
• Posterior facets were replaced with interocclusal
acrylic to prevent eruption of the maxillary posterior
teeth and to leave space for eruption of the
mandibular posterior teeth.

• Acrylic capping over the mandibular incisal edges is
done to minimize their protraction.
• The maxillary wire crossing the palate was replaced
with palatal acrylic.
• Springs were embedded in the acrylic to displace the
appliance forward, forcing the patient to actively
"function" to maintain the appliance in place.

BIONATOR
• Developed by Balters in the early 1950’s,
Mode of action
• Equilibrium between tongue and the circumoral
muscles is attained.
• Establish a normal posture of the tongue
• Screen the hyperactive buccinator : passive
expansion.

• Less bulky compared to Activator
• Smaller mandibular lingual flange
• A transpalatal wire in place of palatal acrylic
• Modified labial bow with buccal extensions that
minimize cheek pressure on the teeth.
• The bionator can incorporate either posterior facets or
interocclusal acrylic to prevent or selectively guide
eruption.

TWIN BLOCK
• The twin block appliance was introduced by a
Scottish orthodontist, William Clark, in 1977.
• More range of mandibular movement.

• Two-piece or split activator using separate maxillary
and mandibular appliances.
• Occlusal acrylic portions serve as inclined guide
planes and bite blocks.

FUNCTIONAL REGULATOR
• Rolf Frankel
• Also called as Frankel’s
appliance
• Recontours the facial soft
tissue adjacent to the
teeth.

MODE OF ACTION :
• Vestibular arena of operation.
• Withholds muscle pressure from the developing jaws and
dentoalveolar area.
• Relief of forces from neuromuscular envelope.
• Increase in sagittal and transverse intraoral space.
• Intermittent outward pull creates outward movement of
alveolodental structures.

Appliances for class II correction:
FR Ib : Class II Div 1 with deep bite and overjet not
exceeding 7 mm.
FR Ic: Class II Div 1 with overjet greater than 7 mm
FR II : Class II Div 1 and Div 2
The FR II is the most frequently used appliance.

HERBST APPLIANCE:
• In 1905 Emil Herbst introduced a fixed appliance in
Germany
• Consists of a rigid maxillary and mandibular framework.
• The mandible is maintained in a
forward position by means of a
metal rod and tube telescopic
mechanism that is attached from
the maxillary first molars to the
mandibular first premolars.

JASPER JUMPER
• An American orthodontist, James Jasper, has replaced
the rigid telescopic mechanism with a flexible plastic
covered open coil spring.
• Attached directly to auxiliary wires with a complete or
partial fixed appliance in place.

MARA APPLIANCE
• Mandibular advancing repositioning appliance
• This appliance was introduced by Ralph M Clements
and Alex Jacobson.1982
• Composed of a pair of telescopic struts

• Indicated in older adolescents or adults.
• When the skeletal Class II problems are mild to
moderate.
FIXED ORTHODONTIC
TREATMENT
* Contemporary Orthodontics 4th edition by William Profitt

• In order to create a class I molar relation in class II
cases, adequate space should be present in the
dental arches.
• This space is absent in many cases.
• Dental camouflage without extraction
• Dental camouflage with extraction

DENTAL CAMOUFLAGE WITHOUT
EXTRACTIONS
• Space is required in the maxillary arch - to retract the
incisors and eliminate overjet
• In the mandibular arch - to protract the mandibular
teeth.
• To gain the space- distalization of maxillary molars.

DISTALIZATION OF MOLAR
• De-rotation of maxillary 1st molar.
• Headgear
• Class II elastics
• Palatal anchorage devices
* Contemporary Orthondontics 4th edition by William Profitt

DE-ROTATION OF MOLARS
• In patients with mild to moderate skeletal Class II
malocclusion, the upper molars are likely to be rotated
mesially.
• Transpalatal lingual arch or an auxiliary labial arch or
the inner bow of a facebow.

• HEADGEAR
• It is now clear that significant distal positioning of the
upper molar with headgear occurs primarily in patients
who have vertical growth.
• Maximum 2 to 3 mm of distal movement occurs in such
cases unless the upper second molars are extracted.

CLASS II ELASTICS
• Can be used for distalization, but
there are some problems.
• First, extrusion of lower molars –
downward & backward rotation of
the mandible.
• Second, -risk of more mesial
movement of the lower teeth than
distal movement of the upper teeth

PALATAL ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS FOR DISTAL
MOVEMENT OF MOLARS
• Mesial movement of teeth is easier than distal
movement.
• Successful distal movement of molars, therefore,
requires more anchorage than that is supplied by just
teeth.
a) NiTi coil springs b)Magnets c)Pendulum appliance

• A-NiTi coil springs compressed against the molars.
• (from an anterior anchorage unit)
• produces a constant force system for the distal
movement.

Pendulum appliance
• Uses beta-Ti springs that extend from the palatal acrylic
and fit into lingual sheaths on the molar tube.
• It is activated to produce 200 to 250 grams
• Byloff et al found that molar movement of l mm/month.

DENTAL CAMOUFLAGE WITH
EXTRACTIONS
• Extraction of
1. Maxillary 2nd Molars
2. Maxillary First Premolars Only Or
3. Maxillary And Mandibular First Premolars.

Extraction Of The Upper Second Molars
• Class 1 molar relation is created by distal
movement of maxillary 1st molar.
• Distalization of 1st molar is much easier if space is
created by extracting the upper second molars.
• Distalization is carried out by using headgear,
pendulum appliance as explained previously.

EXTRACTION OF UPPER FIRST
PREMOLARS
• With this approach, the objective during orthodontic
treatment is to maintain the existing Class II molar
relationship &
• Closing the first premolar extraction space entirely
by retracting the protruding incisor teeth.

• Anchorage used to prevent mesial migration of molars
are:
• Extraoral anchorage
• Transpalatal arch or nance holding arch
• Class II elastics
• Segmental retraction of anteriors.

EXTRACTION OF MAXILLARY AND
MANDIBULAR PREMOLARS
• The mandibular posterior segments will be moved
anteriorly.
• At the same time, the protruding maxillary anterior
teeth will be retracted.
• Class II elastics will be used to close the extraction
sites.

When To Schedule Extraction If It Is Indicated?
• If space is required to eliminate crowding or protrusion
extractions at the onset of treatment.
• Otherwise, extraction should be done
after leveling and alignment.
• Older Extraction - resorbed alveolar bone with constricted facial
and lingual cortical plates that inhibit effective space closure.
• New Extraction Sites - precludes this possibility and have
highly active osseous turnover, offering an ideal environment
for efficient space closure.

• Skeletal Class II problems with little or no remaining
growth potential that cannot be treated with orthodontic
treatment alone.
• In preparation for orthognathic surgery, it is necessary to
remove any dental compensations present and to place
the teeth in a favourable position with their supporting
bone.
• Maxillary protraction and mandibular retraction.
SURGICAL CORRECTION

MANDIBULAR ADVANCEMENT
• Done in mandibular deficiency cases
BILATERAL SAGITTAL SPLIT OSTEOTOMY
• Developed by Richard Trauner, and Hugo Obwegeser.
• Popularly used.
• The mandible can be moved forward or back as
desired, and the tooth-bearing segment can be rotated
down anteriorly when additional anterior face height
is desired

MANDIBULAR TOTAL SUBAPICAL ADVANCEMENT
• less common
• The goal of this surgery is to advance the entire
dentoalveolar segment.
• Eliminates excessive overjet without significantly
changing face height or overbite.

MAXILLARY IMPACTION
• Indicated in vertical maxillary excess.
• May include either:
• total maxillary osteotomy – maxillary excess in
anterior as well as posterior region .
• bilateral posterior segmental maxillary osteotomies -
excess is more in the posterior region.

• Complete levelling of the mandibular arch before
surgery.
• Bone is removed at the osteotomy site to permit superior
repositioning of the maxilla.
• As the maxilla moves up, the mandible rotates upward
and forward around the condylar axis, correcting the
anteroposterior occlusal discrepancy.
• Narrow maxilla - the maxillary osteotomy needs to be in
2 or 3 segments to permit expansion of the maxilla.

• Postsurgical orthodontic treatment includes light
continuous arch wires and light vertical elastics.
• Placement of a maxillary full-dimension nickel-
titanium arch wire is recommended
• Maintains anterior torque while completing root
parallelism in the osteotomy sites.

ANTERIOR MAXILLARY
SUBAPICAL SETBACK
• In rare situations in which the skeletal Class II
malocclusion is caused by a maxillary excess limited to
the anteroposterior dimension only.
• Midface protrusion is characteristic of this condition
• The treatment goal is to use the maxillary first
premolar space for surgical retraction of the maxillary
anterior teeth, maintaining the Class II molar
relationship and achieving a Class I canine
relationship while reducing overjet.

CONCLUSION
• Class II malocclusions are very common malocclusions with
characteristic features.
• Clinical features, x-rays and cephalometrics are useful aids for the
diagnosis of such class II malocclusion.
• The treatment of the class II malocclusion depends upon the age
of the patient, his/her skeletal discrepancy if any and other dental
factors.
• Which should be taken into consideration before starting with the
treatment.
