Class 2 malocclusion

class 2 malocclusion

Class 2 malocclusion has for a long time been a big problem presented to orthodontists. In order to fix the condition, orthodontists usually recommed braces. However, if you are not comfortable wearing the metal wires you can try clear braces instead.

The origin class II malocclusion can be from infections such as the prognathic maxilla or retrognathic mandible. A report from research has indicated that class II malocclusion is more common with mandibular retrognathism infection than maxillary prognathism infections.

The class 2 malocclusion features are likely to develop during the deciduous dentition with a permanent effect. This means that a certain type of correction measure is required to deal with the problem before the impacts are too advanced.

Treatment options are determined by the growth condition of the individual with options such as functional appliances being available. Fixed functional appliances are done in case when mandible enhancement growth is necessitated. class 2 malocclusion

Maxillary growth restriction, lower and upper premolars extraction may necessitate the need to hide effects created by the extracted premolars. The main reason for the undertaking orthognathic surgery or orthodontic interference is to ensure that the patients facial or dental esthetics are improved generally. This, in turn, ensures a better quality of life to the patient.

Cases of class 2 malocclusion necessitating the need to move the molar teeth, especially the first permanent molars, the fixing site of the miniscrew should be done at occlusogingival and at mesial of the initial molars and especially around the keratinized gingiva but within the WALA ridge.

The interradicular space between the second premolars and the first molars. The alveolar bone crest height confirmation should be done with periapical radiographs before insertion. It ensures that correct measurements are taken before the insertion is done to get rid of any error that may occur.

Bonding should be done in case of the insufficient space by opening up the bracket of the second premolar. It should be done with the counter-angulated position to ensure that the roots are individually moved mesially. The 8mm miniscrew is recommended for the class 2 malocclusion.
