| Abstract | Introduction: Although the pros and cons of early two-phase treatment to correct Class II malocclusions have been examined, there is no study to date relating early growth modification techniques to final extraction rates and tooth position outcomes. Methods: Patients (n=61; age 6-17) were evaluated from a private orthodontic practice in Southern California; 41 patients were treated in a single phase, and 20 patients in two-phases. Full records were examined to compare (1) extraction rates in the permanent dentition and (2) final cephalometric numbers. Results: There was a 20% rate of premolar extraction in the two-phase group versus a 43.90% extraction rate in the single phase group (p=0.07). Final cephalometric numbers showed a significant difference in IMPA (p=0.05) with more flaring in the early treatment group, and no differences in ANB change. Conclusion: Early orthodontic intervention of Class II malocclusion resulted in reduced rates of premolar extractions with similar skeletal outcomes. |
