Abstract
Case report of a 18 year old male patient reported with class II division 1 malocclusion with reduced overbite, increased overjet, proclined upper anteriors, discordant midline, convex facial profile, posterior divergence on skeletal class II base with normodivergent growth pattern and CVMI stage IV. This case is treated with MBT prescription for the duration of 2 year, class II correction is achieved with the help of intra oral elastic only. The result showed correction of overjet and overbite, with class I molar and canine relation and marked improvement of facial esthetics
Keywords: Orthodontics, class II correction, intra oral elastics
