Abstract
The treatment of Class II, Division 2 malocclusion during puberty usually leads to a successful but less than ideal result. If the face is allowed to develop without adequate dento-alveolar compensation, the patient generally presents with a flat facial profile, secondary arch length insufficiency, and a dento-alveolar and basal deep bite. This paper evaluates two different treatment approaches to this problem during adolescence, as well as a multiphased interceptive approach undertaken during the juvenile period. After comparing these three treatment approaches, it appears that the best result can be achieved through early interceptive treatment of the developing Class II, Division 2 malocclusion, when treatment is based on the dynamics of facial development and the facilitation of adequate dento-alveolar compensation.
