An overview of class II division 2 malocclusion
Keywords:
retention, skeletal malocclusion, retroclination, etiologyAbstract
Class II malocclusion is the condition in which the mandibular first molars occlude distal to the normal relationship with the maxillary first molar. The etiology of class II malocclusion varied between skeletal, soft tissues, dental factors and habits. Skeletal class II could be because of protrusion of maxilla, retrusion of mandible and combination of both. The treatment modalities of any skeletal problem include growth modification, dental camouflage and orthognathic surgery. This article elaborates the etiology, clinical features, treatment objectives, orthodontic corrections, retention for class II division 2 maloclussion.
