A MODERN APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CLASS II DISTAL OCCLUSION OF THE 1ST SUBCLASS BY ENGLE

Distal occlusion is a widespread dental anomaly among all dental diseases. Protrusion of the upper jaw incisors during distal occlusion is quite common. Orthodontic treatment is characterized by its high duration. In this regard, the issue of creating methods to reduce the time of orthodontic treatment of patients with distal occlusion Class II Engle subclass 1 and improve the quality of life of the patient is relevant. When treating patients with distal occlusion, it is necessary to create conditions for the distalization of the second molars of the upper jaw; therefore, it becomes necessary to use additional equipment at the initial stages of the active period of orthodontic treatment. The devices developed by the author allow the body to distalize the second molar of the upper jaw and stabilize its position in the process of orthodontic treatment.
