Abstract
Increased overbite has always been a challenging orthodontic problem in treating most periodontal-associated
problems. This case report described the management of a class II division 2 malocclusion with cover bite without extraction. A 19-year-old female patient came with a chief complaint of irregularities on the anterior teeth. A fixed appliance was placed without extraction. The patient was instructed to use intermaxillary elastic band class II to correct the canine and molar relation. Treatment time was 16 months. A class I canine and molar relation with good interdigitation was achieved. The treatment of class II division 2 malocclusion without extraction in the adult patient showed promising results.
