title: Tweed-Merrifield sequential directional force nonpremolar extraction treatment: a case report.
abstract: The treatment of a Class II, Division 1 malocclusion without the extraction of premolars is, in many situations, the best solution for the patient. Nonpremolar extraction diagnosis followed by mechanotherapy with a nontorqued, nonangulated .022 edgewise appliance and the "Twelve-Two" System of Sequential Directional Force application is described.
