Abstract Correction of Class II malocclusion in growing children represents one of the challenging tasks in orthodontics, especially in cases where no extraction was planned, where it relies heavily on patient compliance. A non-compliant treatment protocol was presented in this study aiming at inducing a distalizing effect on the whole maxillary arch. The anchorage units were represented by 2 miniimplants placed in the zygomatic buttress. The sample comprised 10 treated and 10 control growing female Class II subjects with an age range of 10-12 years. The follow up period was 6 months where cone beam C.T.s were used to assess the skeletal and dental changes of the treated and control subjects. |
