Class II is a type of dental malocclusion in which the lower jaw is retracted in relation to the upper jaw. Therefore, in these cases, we see in the patient’s profile that the patient’s chin and jaw tend to be further back in the mouth.
CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF CLASS II
Bone class II
The profiles of patients with Class II are differentiated because an intruded jaw is observed.
This can occur for two reasons: because the jaw has not grown enough, the maxilla is too developed, or a combination of both.
This lack of agreement causes patients with Class II to have less aesthetic profiles and functional problems, since the teeth in the upper jaw tend not to coincide with those in the lower jaw, preventing correct chewing.
When Class II is very pronounced, the patient may require orthognathic surgery, combined with orthodontic correction treatment to solve the problem.
Dental Class II
In this case, we can say that the teeth in the upper jaw are more advanced than the lower ones, without this necessarily being due to bone problems. In these cases, correction is simpler.
CORRECT CLASS II
Jaw growth can be stimulated up to the age of 12 with orthopedic treatment. That is why it is so important to detect this type of dental malocclusion early, before it fully develops.

You restore facial harmony.
