Abstract

A case series of two females, who reported to the Department with Angle's Class II molar relationship and bucally placed upper canines, lip strain and a straight profile with average growth pattern. Pendulum appliance was used to distalize the upper molars and Class I molar relationship was achieved in less than 4 months and 4–5 mm of space was created. The space gained was used in the correction of the maxillary anterior crowding, correcting the lip strain in the process.
