Class II malocclusion in mixed dentition.

The primary goal of early treatment is to correct the existing muscular, skeletal and dental imbalances before the eruption of the permanent teeth. When early treatment is instituted, 80% of the malocclusion can be treated with orthopedic appliances and the remaining 20% solved with the straight wire appliances. This approach ensures that in excess of 95% of the cases can be treated non-extraction and non-surgically.
