Q

What soft tissue associations are there for Class II div 2 malocclusion?

A
  • High resting lower lip line which is secondary to decreased lower face height and gives Retroclination of upper incisors
  • Marked labio-mental fold
  • High masseteric forces (give orthodontic space closure problems)
  • Upper 2’s have shorter clinical crown which escape the effect of the lower lip and trap lower lip

Q

When choosing to camouflage a Class II div 2 you have to be careful when extracting teeth why?

A
  • Space closure is difficult in low angle cases
  • May never close the gap
17
Q

In order to get a stable correction of Class ii div 2 what do you need to correct ?

A
  • Overbite reduction (will relapse if not corrected)
  • Correction of inter-incisal angle (reduction)
18
Q

How is a inter-incisal angle corrected?

A
  • Palatal root torque upper incisors
  • Proclination of lower incisors
19
Q

What is a risk of Upper incisor torqueing and what do you need to do it correctly?

A
  • Needs adequate cancellous bone palatal to upper incisors
  • Risk of root resorption
20
Q

When would you opt for orthognathic surgery in Class II div 2 maloclussion?

A
  • When AP or Vertical sk pattern is too sever a malocclusion for orthodontics alone
  • Non growing pts
  • Profile concerns
21
Q

What two things are the most likely things to relapse after txt?

A
  • Rotated lateral
  • Deep overbite
  • Long term retention usually required
22
Q

When is a deep overbite best to correct?

A
  • When pt still growing
  • Use growth mod with functional appliance if AP discrepancy
  • URA with FABP
