|July 1, 1987
Summary
Treating severe Class II division 2 malocclusion is challenging. A new Begg appliance auxiliary effectively delivers torque and intrusive forces to incisors using High Pull Headgear.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Dental Mechanics
Background:
- Severe Class II division 2 malocclusion presents significant treatment challenges.
- Existing appliance systems often struggle to effectively manage this complex malocclusion.
Observation:
- A novel, small auxiliary device designed for the Begg appliance is introduced.
- This auxiliary facilitates the application of specific forces to the upper central incisors.
Findings:
- The auxiliary enables the delivery of controlled torque and intrusive forces to the upper central incisors.
- High Pull Headgear is utilized in conjunction with the auxiliary to achieve these forces.
- A case study demonstrates successful treatment outcomes using this innovative approach.
Implications:
- This auxiliary offers a potential solution for the difficult treatment of severe Class II division 2 malocclusion.
- It provides orthodontists with a new tool for precise force application in complex cases.
- The findings suggest improved treatment efficiency and efficacy for specific malocclusions.
