Importance of Lower Incisor Inclination in Class II Malocclusion Treatment in Children and Adolescents
The goal of early orthodontic intervention is to intercept abnormal growth and guide development.
For skeletal Class II patients—especially those with mandibular incisor crowding or proclination—early moderate mandibular expansion is recommended, ideally before eruption of permanent canines (~8 years old), and no later than age 10.

Management of Posterior Scissor Bite
Treatment of posterior scissor bite should be customized based on the involved tooth position, with appropriate appliance design and traction strategy.
Apply continuous light forces (50–100 g); avoid excessive force to prevent root resorption, pain, and anchorage loss.
