anyone here have a Class II Division 2 malocclusion?

[tiffingirl]

I would love to know of someone else who has this diagnosis and what treatment you are having or have had. Apparently we are very rare!

Hiya,

Yes I have the exact same, my braces go on in 3 weeks time.

My two upper front teeth are pointing backwards intowards my mouth. I also have 10mm overjet and an overbite. I am having extractions aswell.

(Probably is rarer as no one has replied)

Thanks for responding, I was feeling a bit lonely haha! All the best for your bracing in 3 weeks time - very exciting!

I have class 2 div 2. Been in traditional braces for 2 years with insanely heavy class 2 elastics doubled up. Unfortunately, my bite is not cooperating and I may end up just giving up. Hopefully you have a better experience!

That is disheartening. Was surgery an option for you? What does your ortho think you should do?

Haha Thanks, they went on last week.

Have you had any extractions EntrancedBoar91?

I've been given 30 - 36 months estimated time as I'm abit older

No, the ortho didn't think surgery would be necessary. He did recently use my thick steel archwire to flare out my bottom teeth a little more. That seems to have helped my bite a bit. He did say that I have worn down my teeth in a slanted way over the years so I think that has made my mouth a little more complicated! My top and bottom teeth are both slanted due to having an improper bite all my life... Hopefully I'll get to a point where I have a stable bite...

Have you had any extractions EntrancedBoar91?

No I haven't had any extractions, unless you count wisdom teeth. I seem to have enough room. I think my issues stem from how I have improperly worn my teeth down over the years and, from what I have gathered from my ortho and the techs, I don't think my issues are very common. I believe that class 2 div 2 is quite treatable in most cases

Cool, lucky you. I need 4 premolar extractions and am getting slightly concerned it will change my facial profile
