Class II Malocclusion
Non-Extraction treatment
Non-Compliance therapies
Treatment - Molar Distalization
Space regaining procedure
-Mesial migration of first permanent molars

Indications for Molar distalization
1. In a growing child
- to relieve mild crowding
- causes permanent increase in arch
length of about 2mm on each side.

2. Late mixed dentition
- When lower E space utilized for relief of
anterior crowding,
- Upper molars distalized to get a class I
relation
3. Non-growing patient
- To regain lost arch length
- Blocking out of canines
4. Upper second molar extraction
- Lower arch normal
Class I malocclusion- with highly placed canine/impacted
canine

Lack of space for eruption of premolars due to mesial migration
of permanent first molars

End on molar relationship
with mild to moderate space
requirement
Cases with less than a full
cusp class II molar
relationship


Good soft tissue profile
Borderline cases
Mild to moderate space
discrepancy with missing 3
rd

molars/2
nd
molars not yet
erupted
Axial inclination : Mesially
angulated upper molars
Normal or Hypodivergant
growth pattern
Late mixed dentition with
mild crowding of anteriors

Case selection
1. Normal or near normal mandibular arch
2. Late mixed dentition-ideal
- Early permanent dentition-growth still left in maxillary
tuberosity area.- 16-17 yrs-males
14-15 yrs-females
3. Molars placed normally- buccolingually
4. 3
rd
molars-absent stacking of upper molars unsuitable
5. Profile considerations- well developed nose & chin
6. High MPA- contraindicated-wedging effect
7. Space discrepancy- not very severe

Classification

Using Implants

Distalization using Headgears
Very efficient
Reciprocal forces are not transmitted to other teeth
Molar movements depends on direction of force in relation to
the C Res of the molar & magnitude of force
Biomechanics of Headgears:
C Res
Moments
Straight pull headgear
Class II Malocclusion with
no vertical problems
Prevent anterior migration
of maxillary teeth, translate
them posteriorly
Buccal force to molar -
Expansion of inner bow
Cervical Headgear
Short face Class II
maxillary protrusive
cases with low MPA
& Deepbites
Extrusive & distalizing
effect
High pull Headgear
Produces intrusive &
Posterior direction of pull
Long face class II
patients with high MPA
Force through c res
Intrusion & distal
movement of molar
6-8 months class II-
classI
Adv-effective, no reciprocal forces
Disadv- Patient compliance

st
week
