A class II/2 malocclusion with considerable amount of crowding was treated non-extraction by distalization. The upper molars were moved posteriorly with the use of superelastic wires. The orthodontic therapy-mode is presented and the results are discussed. This treatment approach shows another use of superelastic wires.
