Throughout the years, various treatment modalities have been presented for the treatment of Class II Division 1 malocclusions. The goal of this paper is to present a treatment approach that involves the extraction of the maxillary first molars followed by use of fixed appliances with low-friction brackets. This treatment approach has proven to be an efficient treatment modality for Class II Div...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of orthodontic patients at Yonsei Dental Hospital from 2008 to 2012. METHODS We evaluated Angle's classification from molar relationships, classification of skeletal malocclusion from the A point-nasion-B point angle, facial asymmetry, and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) from the records of 7,476 patients who ...

BACKGROUND The high prevalence of malocclusion is a public health problem in the world and the third priority in oral care. Numerous primary studies have presented reports on the prevalence of malocclusion among Iranian children. In combination, the results of these studies using meta-analysis are highly valuable for health policy-making. Similarly, this study aimed at determining the prevalenc...

Objective: To compare the buccolingual inclination of maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth among Angle’s Class I, II div 1 class 2 malocclusion. Materials methods: The sample comprised lateral Cephalometric radiographs Dental Casts 90 subjects in age group 15-25 years. was divided into 3 groups 30 samples each. first records from 5 female 25 male with an average 20.67 years showing I second...

The study was aimed to check the predictability and variability of Yen angle along with other sagittal discrepancy parameters and to discuss the correlation existing between them, so as to obtained a more reliable and least variable parameter for antero-posterior cephalometric analysis. The lateral cephalograms of 120 Class II malocclusion in Indian subjects were obtained and traced for sevente...

OBJECTIVE To systematically review the scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of high-pull headgear in growing Class II subjects.
