title: Orthodontic Management of A Young Girl with Class II Div1 Malocclusion.
abstract: We describe the treatment of a young girl age, 25 years, with Class II Div1 malocclusion. She presented with an over jet of 12 mm, and the overbite was 10 mm and incomplete. Teeth on upper anterior segment of jaw were proclined and spaced. Teeth on lower jaw were crowded with buccaly placed 1st premolar on right side. Molar relationship was Class II on both sides. Incisior relation was class II div1. Her oral hygiene was good. Treatment consisted mainly of premolars extractions, canine retraction, labeling and alignment with Edgewise fixed appliances by multi loops technique. Once the canine retraction was complete, arch contraction was accomplished with 0.016×0.022 inch closing-loop arch wires followed by finishing with 0.014 inch round wires. The treatment resulted in Class I molar occlusion with proper alignment of both upper and lower anterior segment, an ideal over jet, overbite and incisor angulation.
