Abstract
A 13 year old female patient presented with the chief complaint of highly placed canines and irregular upper and lower front teeth. On examination she was diagnosed as an Angle’s Class II malocclusion on an underlying Class I skeletal base, severely crowded maxillary arch with high labially placed canines, mild crowding in mandibular arch, with slightly convex profile, and normal nasolabial angle. She was treated with a nonextraction treatment plan that involved bilateral maxillary molar distalization using modified Hilgers pendulum appliance followed by fixed mechanotherapy. The posttreatment results were highly satisfactory showing improvement in facial esthetics and occlusal relations as well as good long-term stability as was evident in the 1-year follow-up.
