  • Title: Report of a patient with a Class II occlusion using the Begg technique to move the first molars distally.
    Author: Uslu O, Erdem D.
    Journal: World J Orthod; 2009; 10(3):252-6. PubMed ID: 19885429.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old female with a Class II occlusion and an increased overbite was treated using a Begg appliance and a modified Henrikson's arch. The treatment resulted in a Class I occlusion and ideal overjet, overbite, and incisor angulation. Class I occlusion was achieved after 6 months, and total treatment time was 1 year 6 months. The Begg technique with intermaxillary traction to move posterior teeth distally is an effective method to correct a Class II occlusion with minimum mandibular crowding.
