title: Case report AE. Non-surgical correction of a severe Class II malocclusion (Brodie syndrome)
abstract: With a great deal of growth and cooperation over a period of 57 months it was possible to correct a severe Class II malocclusion (Brodie Syndrome) without surgical intervention. Initially, occlusal function was provided with a biteplate while the mandibular dentition was expanded. Following extraction of maxillary first and mandibular second premolars a fixed appliance (Edgewise) was used to complete all tooth movement. Through the treatment of this case the importance of function, growth and development was recognized.
