Hybrid non-surgical orthodontic treatment of a skeletal and dental Class II, division 2

Abstract

With a prevalence of over 30% temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) is the most common chronic pain disorder in the maxillofacial region [1]. The therapy requires an interdisciplinary, individually adapted treatment approach. This case presentation is intended to provide an insight into the treatment concept of a posterior forced bite of an adult patient with dental and skeletal Class II, division 2 malocclusion treated with the Herbst appliance and a partial multibracket appliance from teeth 13-23 followed by clear aligners (Invisalign®) in the upper and lower jaw without orthognathic surgery.
