Early orthodontic treatment is often considered to correct these malocclusions, but its long-term effectiveness remains unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, we examined the impact of early orthodontic treatment on the long-term stability of Class II malocclusions. We conducted a retrospective analysis of dental records from a sample of 150 patients who had received early orthodontic treatment for Class II malocclusions. The treatment involved braces and other orthodontic appliances. We compared their dental measurements before and after treatment, with a follow-up period of 5 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our analysis revealed that the early orthodontic treatment led to a significant improvement in the alignment of upper and lower teeth, as indicated by a reduction in the overjet (the horizontal distance between upper and lower incisors). The mean overjet reduction was 3.2 millimeters. Furthermore, the Angle\u2019s Class II molar relationship was corrected in 80% of the cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Early orthodontic treatment for Class II malocclusions demonstrated positive long-term stability, as evidenced by a reduction in overjet and improvement in molar relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_863_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]],"date-time":"2024-02-29T15:02:37Z","timestamp":1709218957000},"page":"S558-S560","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Effect of Early Orthodontic Treatment on Long-Term Stability of Class II Malocclusions"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Mohammad K.","family":"Alam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Dental Research Cell, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Daffodil International University, Dhaka, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rana","family":"Elbeshbeishy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt"},{"name":"Professor Anatomy, RAK Medical and Health Sciences University UAE, Ajman, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huda M.","family":"Abutayyem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Center of Medical and Bio-Allied Health Sciences Research, College of Dentistry, Ajman University, Ajman, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raghad Fayez H","family":"Albalawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240829","article-title":"Contemporary orthodontics","author":"Proffit","year":"2018","journal-title":"Elsevier"},{"key":"R2-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"622","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajodo.2017.03.023","article-title":"Effects of low-level laser irradiation on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement and associated pain with self-ligating brackets","volume":"152","author":"Qamruddin","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop"},{"key":"R3-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"391","DOI":"10.1016\/S0889-5406(97)80021-2","article-title":"The effect of early intervention on skeletal pattern in Class II malocclusion: A randomized clinical trial","volume":"111","author":"Tulloch","year":"1997","journal-title":"Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop"},{"key":"R4-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"502","DOI":"10.1016\/S0889-5406(97)70287-7","article-title":"Early dentofacial features of Class II malocclusion: A longitudinal study from the deciduous through the mixed dentition","volume":"111","author":"Baccetti","year":"1997","journal-title":"Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop"}],"container-title":["Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_863_23","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T18:23:49Z","timestamp":1787768629000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_863_23"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,2]]},"references-count":4,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Suppl 1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_863_23","relation":{},"ISSN":["0976-4879","0975-7406"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0976-4879","type":"print"},{"value":"0975-7406","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,2]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-09-08","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-09-13","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
