This multi-author clinical guide provides an evidence-based account of the orthodontic management of class II malocclusion. It begins with an overview of class II malocclusion including clinical examples and epidemiological data. This is followed by a chapter discussing timing of treatment, both early and late, and pre- and post-pubertal interventions. Information is given on the evidence base underlying outcomes of treatment, and on clinical management of class II malocclusion, beginning with techniques aimed at growth modification including removable functional appliances, fixed functional appliances and molar distalisation. The book includes a stand-alone chapter on class II division 2 malocclusion and explains conventional camouflage-based orthodontic treatment, treatment of class II malocclusion with lingual appliances and orthodontic-surgical management of class II cases. The last chapters are dedicated to management of class II cases with aligners and retention. In this book, there is an emphasis on evidence-based management of these developing problems and each chapter is richly illustrated with clinical examples. The chapters have been written by an international field of expert clinicians and academics, and will appeal to a wide range of clinicians, including undergraduate dental students, orthodontic specialist trainees and established specialist orthodontists.
