A century ago Edward H. Angle rightly said..."In studying a case of malocclusion, give no thought to the methods of treatment or appliances until the case shall be classified with all peculiarities and variations from the normal in-type, occlusion and facial lines that have been thoroughly comprehended.

Our knowledge on this subject abounds with clinical dogma, with sacred tradition, and even with myth. Since Class II malocclusion is recognized easily by health professional as well as by patients and their families, especially in cases of excessive over jet, the correction of Class II problems may constitute more than half of the treatment protocol in a typical orthodontic practice. It is interesting to note that the process of evolution in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning has been gradual.
