Abstract
Distalization is a common orthodontic technique used to address Class II malocclusions, particularly those where there is an overjet due to maxillary protrusion. It’s performed to correct average to moderate class 2 malocclusions (<3mm) by retracting the maxillary teeth. This technique should be preferred in patients presenting a class II malocclusion due to maxillary protrusion or in adult patients undergoing compromise treatment. The following case report describes an adult female patient with class II subdivision in the left side treated by clear aligner (invisalign) by distalization and class II elastics. Sequential distalization protocol was used starting with the second molar, once the second molar has moved two-thirds of the desired distance, the first molar is distalized, followed by the premolars and canines. Finally, the four incisors are retracted to complete the treatment.
