title: Varying treatments of Class II malocclusions: two case reports.
abstract: Two female patients, JH aged 13 years 5 months and CN, aged 13 years 10 months, presented at the Sydney University Orthodontic Clinic, Australia. Patient JH complained that her lower teeth were "too far back behind her top teeth". She was treated using the Speed Appliance. Patient CN complained that her teeth were "crooked". The main point of interest of her case is the mechanics used following the extraction of her four first molar teeth. Both patients were keen to improve their appearance.
