Treatment of Class II Malocclusion
Class II elastic
Elastic force used for Class II elastics is typically 3.5-4.5 oz, size 3/16”. If the upper and lower midlines are coincident, elastics should be worn bilaterally. However, if the upper and lower midlines are off, unilateral Class II elastics should be worn on the Class II side to help center dental midlines (assuming the upper midline is off from facial midline). I reinforce the importance of wearing elastics to the patients as it is an essential component of the Class II treatment protocol.
