CRUZ RIVAS, Yulenia; MARIN MANSO, Gloria; GARDON DELGADO, Liuba  y  LLANES RODRIQUEZ, Maiyelín. Flat strips in the treatment of class II malocclusion. : A case report . Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2005, vol.42, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.

Division 1 class II malocclusion is one of the abnormalities that are present in the Orthodontics offices more frequently. Different treatments have been described to solve this problem. A case treated by functional orthopedics, specifically with class II flat strips, an appliance created by Pedro Planas that is based on neuroocclusal rehabilitation, is reported. The results show the effectiveness of this appliance, since changes in favor of skeletal harmony, aesthetics and function are observed, and the transversal modifications are encouraging. The opening of the facial axis and the increase of the anteroinferior facial height are observed among the skeletal changes.

Palabras clave : Flat strips; class II division 1; functional appliances; cephalometric modifications; mandibular retrognathism; class II syndrome.
