Abstract
A Class II division 2 malocclusion is characterized by retroclination of two or more maxillary incisors, Class II molar relationship and an increased overbite.This article describes a case report of a 17-year-old female patient who was concerned about an irregularly placed tooth. The clinical and radiographic investigations revealed that the patient had Class II skeletal relation, mesoprosopic facial form, deep labiomental fold, average growth pattern and Angle’s Class II div 2 type D malocclusion. Camouflage line of treatment with severe skeletal discrepancy would compromise on facial esthetic. Therefore, Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) with mandibular advancement was performed which resulted in favourable esthetic outcome.
Keywords: Class II div 2 malocclusion,Skeletal Class II malocclusion, Mandibular retrognathism, Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy.
