The overbite and the overjet were increased. Scissor bite was evident in the left buccal segment. Treatment involved extraction of upper first premolars and lower second deciduous molars, utilizing moderate anchorage using a preadjusted edgewise fixed appliance (0.022’’ X 0.028”) with Roth prescription. Treatment duration was 20 months in total. The envelope of discrepancy specifies strict rules when camouflaging class II cases. The ability to retract incisors and the use of class II mechanics are within limited range to avoid damage to the periodontium.

Group II individuals were bonded with self-ligating brackets. At the end of the first appointment, the patients were given printed sheets to record visual analogue scale (VAS) scores.
