Aim: The purpose of the present research was to assess the choice of treatment utilized by orthodontists in class II div.II malocclusion in case of young adults. Methodology: 8 questions were asked to 50 orthodontists during a survey regarding the treatment options in cases of class II div. II. They were asked about various appliances used as well as relapses in relation to these cases. Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out using standard deviation, mean etc. The result was considered statistically significant when p value was <0.05. Results: Around 64.5% of participants faced problems like crowding of the anterior teeth as the major challenge followed by aberrant molar relationships, overbite depth, retroclination of maxillary incisors, and hypodivergent facial pattern of patients. 22 months is the average time the orthodontists (58%) remove the fixed appliances and follow them with retainers. 71% of participants feel that class II div. II relapse much more often as compared to class II div. I cases. 13.6% of orthodontists relied majorly preferred interdental stripping and tooth contouring. Conclusion: Surgical orthodontics is not preferred by the orthodontists in our study and class II div. II cases shows more relapses.
