Abstrakt: | The field of orthodontics has traditionally been regarded as the primary specialty within dentistry. As per Dr. Tweed's recommendation, historical treatment approaches often entailed the extraction of four premolar teeth. Nonetheless, early orthodontic intervention can frequently obviate the necessity for extractions, thus preserving the integrity, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of the dentition. This case report details a non-extraction approach for managing a developing skeletal Class II malocclusion, characterized by a skeletal disharmony between the maxilla and mandible. The chosen treatment option is influenced by factors such as the patient's age, growth potential, the severity of the malocclusion, and the patient's adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen. Myofunctional appliances have been identified as effective in addressing Class II Division 1 malocclusion resulting from mandibular retrusion.
