The Herbst appliance has been used routinely in the specialty of orthodontics for nearly 40 years. Over this time, many design variations have been utilized. One of the recent designs is the AdvanSync 2 appliance, manufactured by Ormco. The AdvanSync 2 appliance is smaller than the conventional Herbst appliances and allows the clinician to place braces on all the permanent teeth forward of the first molars. In the case presented, the patient presented with a skeletal Class II, division 2 malocclusion. Facially, it was determined that mandibular advancement would be advantageous for ideal facial esthetics. The result of treatment utilizing the Damon System braces and the AdvanSync 2 Class II corrector was an excellent outcome both dentally and in regard to facial esthetics.

Skeletal Class II malocclusion with mandibular deficiency is one of the most common problems that patients seek treatment. Adult patients with severe skeletal Class II malocclusion need orthognathic surgery for successful treatment. Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is the most often preferred technique for these patients. This case report briefs about two male patient of age 24 years presented with Class II Skeletal relation, mesoprosopic facial form, horizontal growth pattern and Angle’s Class II div 1 malocclusion who were treated with Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) mandibular advancement. The ideal anteroposterior relation was established along with a Class I molar, incisor, canine relationship and ideal overjet, overbite and the overall facial esthetics were significantly improved. Combined surgical-orthodontic treatment aims to obtain a more harmonious facial, skeletal, dental and soft tissue relationship with an added patient self esteem.

Background: A unique clinical challenge presents when dealing with a compromised first permanent molars with bilateral posterior crossbite, severe crowding and impacted maxillary canines with skeletal class II base malocclusion patient. Case presentation: 14-year-old female patient had dental Class II skeletally, complicated with increase overjet, badly destructed permanent mandibular 1st molars constricted maxillary arch. Extraction of 1st molars followed by expansion have been planned to relieve crowding. Extraction of 1st molars in this time (furcation of 3rd molars start to develop) help in replacement by 2nd molars. In the progression of treatment, Conclusion: A well-balanced and esthetic occlusion by edge wise orthodontic treatment has been archived in this case.

This paper describes an adult Saudi male patient who presented with a severe skeletal class II deformity. The case was managed with a combination of presurgical orthodontic treatment followed by a double jaw orthognathic surgery and then another phase of orthodontic treatment for final occlusal detailing. Extraction of the four first premolars was done during the presurgical orthodontic phase of treatment to decompensate upper and lower incisors and to give room for surgical setback of the maxillary anterior segment. Double jaw surgery was performed: bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for 8 mm mandibular advancement combined with three-piece Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy, 6 mm setback of the anterior segment, 8 mm impaction of the maxilla, and 5 mm advancement genioplasty. Although the anteroposterior discrepancy and the facial convexity were so severe, highly acceptable results were obtained, both esthetically as well as occlusally.

Abstract Background: To retrospectively evaluate postsurgical stability and condylar morphology for skeletal class II malocclusion patients with condylar resorption (CR) treated with orthognathic surgery.Methods: Thirty-five patients treated with combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgery between 2014 and 2018 were enrolled in this retrospective study. CT scans were acquired preoperatively (T0), 2–7 days after surgery (T1), and 1 year postoperatively (T2). The amount of mandibular advancement, postsurgical relapse, condylar morphology and joint spaces were analysed respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using R, version 3.4.3 (R Development Core Team 2010).Results: The average mandibular advancement and counter-clockwise rotation were 5.51 mm and -2.82 degrees respectively. The average relapse was 1.08 mm (19.6% of the advancement) and 1.13 degrees. The condylar volume showed a postoperative reduction of 161.86 mm3(13.7% of initial condylar volume). AJS increased after surgery and gradually returned to its original state, while SJS and PJS decreased and remained stable. Surgical advancement of B point was significantly correlated with skeletal relapse. The optimal cut-off values were as follows: MP-FH (40.75°); ramus height (51.125 mm); SJS (1.63 mm); surgical displacement (4.72 mm); CCR (-4.3°); AJSC (1.07 mm).Conclusions: Skeletal class II patients with CR have a high risk of postsurgical condylar resorption, which was most related to nonsurgical risk factors such as gender(female) and condylar angle. Condylar had moved posteriorly to the concentric position after surgery and remained quite stable through the 1-year follow-up. Preoperative skeletal patterns such as lower ramus height and surgical procedures such as larger advancement of the mandible were closely associated with sagittal relapse of the mandible.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the proportion of skeletal/dentoalveolar components for correction of Class II malocclusion in relation to the pubertal growth peak (PGP) among patients treated with the mandibular advancement locking unit (MALU) appliance. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 27 orthodontic patients (age range: 12–18 years; mean age 14.9 years) with skeletal Class II Division 1 malocclusion who were treated with the MALU appliance until they reached Class I occlusion with overjet and overbite within normal range. Pretreatment (T1) and posttreatment (T2) lateral cephalograms were analyzed using standard cephalometrics and sagittal occlusion analysis to assess changes in the dentoalveolar and skeletal complex. The cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) method was used to determine participants' skeletal maturation in T1 cephalograms. Based on this maturation, participants were divided into two groups: the peak group (treatment initiation before or during PGP [peak group, n=15]) or the postpeak group (treatment initiation after the PGP [n = 12]). Results: No significant differences between groups were found at T1 for most of the skeletal and dental parameters investigated. At T2, the mean ANB angle and proclination of the mandibular incisors were significantly smaller in the peak group than in the postpeak group. In the peak group, skeletal correction comprised 54% and dental correction 46% of the total change at T2, while in the postpeak group the corresponding figures were 24% and 76%, respectively. Conclusions: Treatment initiated before or during PGP seems to result in a more favorable SNA/SNB relationship and less tipping of the mandibular incisors than when treatment is initiated after PGP.
