Treatment of Class II, 2 Malocclusion Using a New Herbst-Type Appliance (The Biobitecorrector®): A Case Report
Journal Contribution - Journal Article
When correcting a Class II malocclusion, an orthodontist is often dependent on patients’
cooperation. If cooperation is bad, it is difficult to achieve the preset treatment goals. Appliances
have been developed to reduce the necessity of patient cooperation. Therapy with these kinds
of appliances is called non-compliance therapy. By using this kind of therapy, a greater control
over the treatment lies within the hands of the orthodontist. By improving the control over the
treatment, results can be improved. Besides a case report, theory behind these appliances,
biomechanics and a couple of appliances are discussed in this article.
