Skeletal Class II malocclusion is attributed to maxillary prognathism, mandibular retrognathism or combination of both. In adolescent cases, the treatment includes growth modulation with headgear or myofunctional appliances. However in adults, optimum esthetic and functional efficacy can be achieved by orthodontic-surgical combination. This case report describes a 21 years old post-pubertal male with severe skeletal Class II discrepancy with normal maxilla and retrognathic mandible. The case was treated with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) with mandibular advancement approach. Straight profile, pleasing esthetics, bilateral Class I molar and canine relationship, normal overjet and overbite were achieved because of a combined ortho-surgical approach.

ABSTRACT Introduction An accurate evaluation of sagittal jaw relationship is important in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Numerous angular and linear measurements have been incorporated to assess anteroposterior jaw discrepancy between maxilla and mandible so as to reach the correct diagnosis. So the purpose of this study is to compare Beta angle and YEN angle used to measure anteroposterior dysplasia and to find which is the most reliable between them. Materials and Methods The sample comprised 26 pretreatment lateral cephalograms of Skeletal class II patients. Results Descriptive analysis was performed and highly significant values were found with both Beta angle and YEN angle. Conclusion Beta and YEN angles are significant ones to assess the sagittal jaw relationship between maxilla and mandible.

Malocclusion is a condition characterized by diverse phenotypic expression patterns, with a complex underlying genetic background. COL1a1 is one of the genes that has been previously associated with malocclusion, with one particular SNP, rs2249492 (C>G, C>T), having been linked with an increased risk of skeletal class II malocclusion. In this paper, making use of DNA sequencing and cephalometric measurements, we present preliminary data regarding the association between the rs2249492 SNP and the risk of malocclusion in the Romanian population, illustrated as continuous, rather than categorical phenotypes. The results show a tendency towards a Class II pattern determined by mandibular retrognathism, rather than maxillary prognathism among the individuals possessing the mutant allele. Subsequent studies on larger sample sizes should include statistical analysis focused on associations between the rs2249492 allele and continuous phenotypic variation inside, but not restricted to Class II malocclusion, in order to acquire a more detailed picture of the interaction between the polymorphism and this complex condition

Class II malocclusion has a high incidence in the population, which may compromise smile aesthetics, occlusion function and stability. Skeletal Class II may affect facial aesthetics and upper airway volume. Class II malocclusion is routinely associated with skeletal Class II condition, having as treatment alternatives the use of Extra Buccal Appliance (EBA) or removable or fixed propulsor appliance. This article describes a case of a patient who did not accept the use of EBA and so it was fitted a Flex Developer propulsor for Class II correction and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of therapeutic alternatives for Class II correction.

Analysis of sagittal jaw relationship is important in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, and can be investigated by angular or linear parameters. In the present study an analysis was performed using profile cephalograms of 40 children with skeletal Class II malocclusion. A correlation analysis is presented, involving five different methods of expressing sagittal jaw relationships. Whilst some degree of agreement could be noted, it was not possible to suggest a pair of measurements, which in combination, could give a more accurate picture of sagittal jaw relationships.

Adequate planning and early treatment of Angle Class II malocclusion with maxillary atresia and anterior open bite provides harmonization of maxillomandibular bone bases in the three planes of space. Orthodontic aligners have emerged as an alternative treatment having the following advantages: being more aesthetic and more comfortable for the patient, less treatment time when they are correctly indicated, less chairside time, less complications, possibility of remote monitoring, easier feeding, and dental hygiene. On the other hand, they offer difficulties to treat adults with severe skeletal Class II malocclusions, posterior crossbite and anterior open bite. Therefore, the objective of this clinical case report is to early correct skeletal Class II malocclusion with maxillary atresia through the use of mechanical orthopedics and devices that help eliminate habits and close the anterior open bite, and later the use of orthodontic aligners to finish the treatment. It was concluded that the early interceptive treatment of malocclusion was efficient to harmonize the bone bases in the anteroposterior, vertical, and transversal directions, changing this malocclusion from high to low complexity and, consequently, highly predictable and with an excellent prognosis for treatment with orthodontic aligners. The treatment with ClearCorrect aligners corrected the occlusion in a shorter period of time when compared to corrective orthodontics and with a high predictability in relation to the virtual setup.
