Download SIMPLIFIED CLASS II CORRECTION WITH THE POWERSCOPE

SIMPLIFIED CLASS II CORRECTION WITH THE POWERSCOPE APPLIANCE
Dr. Hayes will discuss evidence based Class II correction treatment. He will present cases and supporting
data from current literature. Although each individual patient has different treatment needs, with sound
orthodontic mechanics many Class II cases can be treated successfully through the use of chairside Class II
correction appliances. Dr. Hayes will demonstrate ways in which he is successfully treating Class II patients
without flaring of lower incisors or losing torque in the maxillary anterior. He will demonstrate how the
PowerScope Class II Appliance in particular is an easy, cost effective tool in for the majority of Class II
patients.
