Correction of Class II malocclusion with the twin force bite corrector – A case report
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
A class II intermaxillary dental relationship represents a posterior discrepancy of the lower teeth with regard to the upper teeth. In class II malocclusion the mesiobuccal groove of the lower first molar is posterior to the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar. Various types of appliances are used for treatment of Class II malocclusion cases. Twin force bite corrector is used to correct Class II malocclusion due to retrognathic mandible. This article presents a case of class II malocclusion treatment with TFBC appliance.
