Summary:This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a male, aged 13.2 years, with permanent aentition, sagittal skeletal Class II division 2 malocclusion. His chiefcompliant was the position of the maxillary incisors, displaced too palatally, and an impaired facial profile. Twin block and 0.022 x 0.028 inch pre-adjusted-edge wise appliance, were used to correct the sagittal discrepancy and to improve the attractiveness of the impaired facial profile. The total treatment duration was decreased with the use of synergistic approach.
