THE FUNCTIONAL TREATMENT OF ANGLE CLASS II/2 MALOCCLUSION USING DAMONTM PASSIVE-SELF LIGATING SYSTEM

Abstract

Class II division 2 malocclusion, associated with mandibular retrognathia, presents distinct dental features and potential temporomandibular joint implications. Orthodontic interventions, particularly fixed appliance treatment, may lead to adaptive condyle reconstruction and establish a more suitable spatial relationship for the mandible. A case study of an 11-year-old female with Class II division 2 malocclusion illustrates DamonTM Passive Self-Ligating system efficiency and effectiveness. Anteroposterior correction was achieved with light elastics, eliminating the need for fixed Class II appliances and mitigating potential iatrogenic effects. Treatment progression involved strategic wire transitions, bracket repositioning, and meticulous occlusal assessments.
