title: The combined orthodontic and surgical treatment of traumatic Class II division 2 in the adult.
abstract: A mild Class II division 2 incisal relationship is often associated with a pleasing facial profile and aesthetically acceptable arrangement of the teeth. Severe cases, however, have the potential to cause trauma and a number of older patients present with extensive soft and hard tissue damage. Management options may range from simple preventive advice to complicated surgical orthodontics. Detailed assessment of the case is paramount in developing an appropriate treatment plan.
