Orthodontic management of a Class II Division 1 malocclusion with proclined maxillary central incisors using a self-ligating system: A case report

A Class II malocclusion is the protrusion of the upper front teeth over the lower teeth, which can be observed as an excessive horizontal discrepancy. This condition is frequently found in children who have a propensity for digit-sucking. This is a case of a 12-year-old girl who has increased overjet and mild maxillary crowding as a result of a habit like digit-sucking, which can affect the jaw's growth. A Class II Division 1 malocclusion with proclined maxillary central incisors was the subject of this report, which evaluated clinical and radiographic ways of integrating orthodontic treatment. In this case study, the upper and lower dentitions of the patient underwent orthodontic rehabilitation using a self-ligating system. A Class I or more aesthetically appealing occlusion is the desired outcome of the treatment. Good prognosis is still expected even if there were no frequent face-to-face adjustments and evaluation from the dentist, as it is one of the advantages of a self-ligating system.
