Case 10 The patient presented with a symmetric Class II platform, narrow dental arches, worn anterior denti-tion, and an extreme counterclock-wise growth pattern (Figs. 48-49). Using a palatal TAD anchored horse-shoe jet 8 (Fig. 50) the maxillary first molars were bodily distal driven to a Class I platform (Fig. 52-A,B). After full bracketing, a maxillary piggyback intrusion arch 8 (Fig. 51) was used to intrude the maxillary anterior teeth to an ideal overbite (Figs. 52-53). Case 11 The patient presented with an asymmetric dental Class II platform (5.5 mm right and 1.2 mm left) (Fig. 56-A), a maxillary midline shift to the left, and a deep dental bite (Fig. 54-A). The arches were bracketed and banded (Fig. 54-B) and an anterior Triad ramp was placed on the lingual surfaces of the maxillary incisors to disclude the posterior dentition (Fig. 55).
