Abstract

Summary: Orthopedic correction of Class II
Skeletal jaw discrepancies in growing children is a widely accepted treatment approach. The
combination of maxillary orthopedic splints or activators with various extra oral appliances has
been recommended for maximum orthopedic effect. This combination appears to allow better control of
the vertical growth component, which is a critical factor in the correction of sagital skeletal jaw
discrepancies. Key words: Skeletal class II. Highpull headgear. Maxillary acrylic plaque.
