Abstract
Patients with a Class II malocclusion, proclination, severe crowding of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth, and high mandibular plane angles are a treatment-planning challenge. This case report describes an orthodontic treatment and maxillary premolar extraction without orthognathic surgery for a 18-year old man. Maximum anchorage is needed for upper anterior retraction by using Temporary Anchorage Device (TAD’s). The use of IME and ISW unilateral MEAW was important to relieve upper and lower anterior crowding. After treatment, the patient had a better profile, adequate overjet and overbite. This case report demonstrates that a minimally invasive treatment can successfully correct a severe skeletal Class II malocclusion with large overjet.
