[Class II subdivision in adults: use of miniscrews anchorage in mixed technique]

Class II malocclusions represent 60% of our treatments, 50% of which are strictly unilateral or asymmetric. These require asymmetric therapeutic methods which conventional techniques answer most of the time poorly because of anchorage matters and three-dimensional control. Along with this, there is an increase in adult treatments demand requiring all together efficiency and aesthetics. The thoughtful combination of lingual and miniscrew techniques allows us to confidently treat Class II subdivision in adults. Therefore, we propose an approach which meets the esthetic needs of adults as well as treatment goals of Class II subdivision, correction of asymmetries and tilt of the occlusal plane.
