Australasian Edgewise Study Group: Three case reports. Case report no. 2: Non-extraction treatment of a Class II...

Currently, more emphasis is being placed on non-extraction orthodontic treatment, thereby increasing the possibility of mild dental bimaxillary protrusion post-treatment. This adds to the potential for the return of mild anterior dental irregularity post-retention. For this patient, a comprehensive treatment plan including modification of facial growth has proved that a non-extraction approach for the correction of upper anterior crowding can produce good results without necessarily compromising long term stability.
