Introduction-
The bioprogressive therapy has long been
thought of as sectionalized approach.
When a full compliment of teeth is
maintained,the possiblity of segmental
approach to mechanics is greatly
enhanced.
It is important that basic principals of
bioprogressive therap be adhered to both
www.indiandentalacademy.com
in treatment planning and in chairside
decision making process.The universal
concept of control must be altered slightly
in mind of clinician to take into account the
individual movements of teeth in different
planes of space.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Thinking in terms of sectionalized
approach.
Not only are teeth within each arch
considered to separate segments,requiring
individual movements in their own plane of
space,but the individual
arches,themselves are to be considered
as separate sections.It will be noted that
for pure simlicity and efficiency of
mechanics,each individual arch may be in
completely different phase of treatment.

Mechanics sequence for class II div
2 Cases.
The principles of bioprogressive therapy
continue to be of extreme importance in
treatment of class II div 2
malocclusions.the management process
we use in order to individualize our
mechanics and establish the sequence
necessary for special case.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Division 2 malocclussion
are frequently present in
brachyfacial patterns with
resulting strong
musculature. They
generally have moderate
to minimum convexity,
but occasionally do have
higher convexity resulting
orthopedic problems.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
There are six functions necessary in treating in class2
div2 mallocclusions which are general considerations
for evaluating the mechanics sequence:
1. Advancement ,torque control ,and intrusion of upper
incissors.
2. Intrusion of lower incissors and cuspids.
3. Allignment of buccal segments and class2
corrections.
4. Consolidation of upper incissors.
5. Idealizing the arches.
6. Finishing.

TREATMENT SEQUENCE OF MECHANICS.
NON EXTRACTION CLASSII DIV 2, DEEPBITE.
1. UPPER:
Band or bond the upper
incisors. The upper incisors
are advanced , torqued and
intruded with .016 x .016 blue
elgiloy utility arch.
The anterior section should
be deflected forward 5mm or
more.
AV in the anterior arch for
will help keep this contour.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
2. UPPER
Continue use of utility
arch.
Band or bond maxillary
cuspids and bicuspids.
Level the buccal sections
with Tsections or
piggyback, a round wire.
If leveling is not
necessary place traction
section and initiate class2
elastics.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
LOWER
Place lower .016 x .016
blue elgiloy utility arch
with 65-75 gms of force.
The bicuspids and
cuspids are banded or
bonded.

If class2 elastics has not
been initiated,start at this

LOWER
Elastic thread is ligated
from lower cuspid.
Place .016 x.022

enhance torque control.
Stabilizing section should
be used during cuspid
intrusion.

are corrected torqing

torque control, intrusion,

FINISHING PROCEDURES AND
RETENTION.
The finishing and retention procedure of
the bioprogressive therapy are
considered,from the beginning stages of
treatment,as a part of the total scheme of
treatment.
One of greatest values of VTO is the
establishing of specific end results from
the beginning.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Basic boprogressive appliances
Standard bioprogressive appliance has
had torque in upper central and lateral
incisors as well as all four cuspids.
Full torque bioprogressive adds additional
torque,by placing torque in lower 2
nd

bicuspids and lower ist and 2
nd
molars.this
added torque is used in accomplishing the
same objectives as the original standard
appliance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Triple control bioprogressive appliance
now combines offset first order bends with
second order tip and the third order
torque, to present the complete triple
control needed to place teeth in all three
planes of space to accomplish the
necessary movements to reach the
objective of the over treated orthodontic
occlusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Occlusal check list in finishing
1. Intermolar width at
lower 2
nd

molar,together with
uprightness and
rotation of that tooth.
2. Using 2
nd
molar as
guide, is lower 1
st

molar contact at
distal cucp.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
3. Distal contact 2
nd

premolar. It would
appear slightly
depressed.
4. The lower 1
st
pm is
very critical.it should
appear to be buccal
to canine.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. Torque
consideration from
2
nd
pm backward
there is progressive
lingual crown torque.
6. Pm offset is given to
bring in contact with
distal lingual incline
of upper canine.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. Mesial of cuspid is
tucked slightly
behind the lateral
incisor,distal of
cuspid buccal of 1
st

pm.
8. The incisors and
canines are oriented
to occlusal plane at
about 14-16 deg.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
UPPER ARCH FINISHING CHECK
LIST.
1. 1
st
molar and 2
nd
molar
width.
2. Upper molar rotation.
3. This is considerd key of
finishing because lower
1
st
molar and the upper
1
st
molar must be
correct before its proper
position can be attained.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. It should be parallel
to occlusal plane
buccolingually .it
may also appear to
be slightly distally
inclined because
mesial marginal
ridge is broken and
lower than distal
marginal ridge.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. In the upper arch is
to consider the
contour and over
treatment of buccal
occlusion.
6. Canine should be
over treated in
finishing stages of
class 1 and class 11
malocclusion
corrections.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. A gingival step of1/2
to 2mm would be
required to clear the
longer cuspid in
excursions of
mandible.
8. Upper centrals
contact are
considred and
midlines of the
denture
