Treatment of subdivision malocclusion has always been considered difficult as it involves asymmetric biomechanics to treat asymmetric buccal occlusion. Several treatment modalities include asymmetric extractions, asymmetric headgear, functional appliances, unilateral elastic wear and tip back bends have been suggested for its treatment. However, side effects of each one of them often leads to undesirable side effects in treatment. This report shows two cases which have been treated with combination of asymmetric extractions, unilateral elastic wear and tip back bends to correct subdivision malocclusion. Because of the combination of these three components, undesirable side effects were kept to minimum and yielded a better post treatment outcome. Utilizing proper force analysis and accurate biomechanics often leads to good post treatment outcome.
