| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: The timing of treatment for Class II malocclusion has been heavily studied yet still remains to be a controversial clinical issue. This study specifically evaluates the ability of Class II growth modification to prevent the need for premolar extraction and the effect it has on cephalometric measurements. ❧ MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patient records from the private practice office of an American Board of Orthodontics diplomate in Southern California were evaluated for this study. A total of 106 patient records were examined, 36 were treated in two-phases and 70 were treated in a single-phase. The complete records of each patient were analyzed to compare premolar extraction rates between the two treatment groups and their resulting cephalometric measurements. ❧ RESULTS: There was no significant difference in extraction rate between two-phase and single-phase treatment. The single-phase treatment group had an extraction rate of 18.6% (13 out of 70 patients) while the extraction rate for the two-phase group was 13.9% (5 of the 36 patients)(p-value 0.543). The change in ANB was the only significant cephalometric difference between two-phase and single-phase treatment with more change occurring in two-phase treatment. ❧ CONCLUSION: The results of this study conclude that two-phase Class II treatment does not reduce the rate of premolar extraction by a significant amount. In addition, early orthodontic treatment does not affect cephalometric outcomes, with the exception of ANB. |
