Abstract


Class II malocclusion is the second-most common anteroposterior malocclusion and its management is very challenging. In non-growing patients with severe discrepancy, the optimal treatment plan would be combined surgical and orthodontic treatment. Difficulty increases more when vertical dysplasia is also associated with sagittal discrepancy. With the introduction of mini-implants in Orthodontics, the range of camouflage treatment has expanded. This case report presents a 17-year-old girl with Angle’s Class I malocclusion on a Class II skeletal base with prognathic maxilla; retrognathic mandible with vertical growth pattern, upper and lower anterior proclination and protrusion with 5mm overjet. Treatment involved use of five mini-implants for retraction and intrusion of anterior maxillary dentoalveolar segment to obtain normal overjet, overbite and pleasing soft tissue profile.
