Class II malocclusion is a frequent condition, with a prevalence of around 30% of the patients seeking orthodontic treatment.Depending on the underlying condition, multiple treatment strategies are available for the management of Class II malocclusion.Treatment by both fixed and removable functional appliances is effective in correcting the Class II malocclusion.The last decade has witnessed a steady upsurge in the interest for facial esthetics. Therefore, soft tissues changes following orthodontic treatment are given more importance than ideal occlusion. Presently, data is lacking on the relationship of soft tissue profile changes and both treatment modalities, with and without extractions.
