A cephalometric study of Class II, division 1 treatment using differential torque mechanics.
A pilot study was designed in which 19 growing patients with Class II, Division 1 malocclusions who were undergoing differential torque treatment were cephalometrically evaluated. No extraoral force or Class II elastics were used. Findings indicate that the 2 x 4 appliance can be useful in the treatment of selected Class II, Division 1 malocclusions in growing children.
