Objectives: To demonstrate how class II malocclusion can be corrected with the aid of miniscrews, without the patient's cooperation, by exploiting the growth differential to improve skeletal relationships. Materials and methods: Miniscrews were used to provide anchorage during multibracket treatment of dentoskeletal class II malocclusion in a patient with mixed dentition (vertebral bone age CS1). Results: Dentoskeletal class II malocclusion was corrected rapidly - without the patient's cooperation - using upper-arch bonding alone. Conclusions: Miniscrews can be a useful aid for achieving rapid, early correction of dentoskeletal class II malocclusion in noncompliant patients. © 2012 Elsevier Srl. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Objectives: To demonstrate how class II malocclusion can be corrected with the aid of miniscrews, without the patient's cooperation, by exploiting the growth differential to improve skeletal relationships. Materials and methods: Miniscrews were used to provide anchorage during multibracket treatment of dentoskeletal class II malocclusion in a patient with mixed dentition (vertebral bone age CS1). Results: Dentoskeletal class II malocclusion was corrected rapidly - without the patient's cooperation - using upper-arch bonding alone. Conclusions: Miniscrews can be a useful aid for achieving rapid, early correction of dentoskeletal class II malocclusion in noncompliant patients. © 2012 Elsevier Srl. All rights reserved.
