Class II Correction-Reducing Patient Compliance: a Review of the Available Techniques

Department of Public and Child Dental Health, School of Dental Science, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Abstract

The correction of Class II malocclusions has been hampered by the use of appliances which require the patient to co-operate with headgear, elastics, or the wearing of a removable appliance. ‘Non-compliance therapy’ involves the use of appliances which minimize the need for such co-operation and attempt to maximize the predictability of results. This article reviews and describes the types of appliances used, and their mode of action-based on the current available research.

Key words: Non-compliance Therapy, Review
