Class II division 2 - Treated Examples

Class II, division 2 is an uncommon problem. In Example A you can see the increased vertical overlap of the front teeth (overbite) means that the upper front teeth are biting on the gums around the lower front teeth. If left for a long time, it is possible that the gum tissue can be damaged; this is the main reason to correct this problem.

In Example A the situation presented in a growing individual and was therefore corrected without extractions in a two stage treatment; a functional appliance to correct the bite of the back teeth and subsequently fixed appliances were used to align the front teeth and reduce the overbite.
