title: Class II malocclusion in mixed dentition.
abstract: The primary goal of early treatment is to correct the existing muscular, skeletal and dental imbalances before the eruption of the permanent teeth. When early treatment is instituted, 80% of the malocclusion can be treated with orthopedic appliances and the remaining 20% solved with the straight wire appliances. This approach ensures that in excess of 95% of the cases can be treated non-extraction and non-surgically.
