Pak Oral Dental J Jan ;24(2):165-70.

The purpose of this study was to find the skeletal, dental & soft tissue changes following a nonextraction orthodontic treatment regimen in mild to moderate class 2 skeletal base relationships in the adult population. 46 mild to moderate class 2 skeletal base relationships were treated with fixed orthodontic appliances in the adult permanent dentition with non-extraction approach. The patients selected were assessed according to pre-treatment & post-treatment cephalometric records. 7 Sagittal, 7 vertical, 8 dento-skeletal and 6 soft tissue profile cephalometric parameters were measured for each patient. Class one molar and incisor relationship was achieved mostly as a result of forward mandibular dento-alveolar movement as compared to skeletal and soft tissue changes. Camouflage orthodontic treatment by non-extraction approach for late adolescents and adults can be achieved with good results.
