IBO case 4 - Class II division 2. Classes II Division 2. Biomechanical strategies and smile aesthetics management The presentation will describe the orthodontic management of this malocclusion characterized by deep bite, retroinclination of the upper incisors, and smile aesthetic alterations typical of this clinical configuration. The biomechanical approach aims to correct sagittal and vertical discrepancies, with a focus on controlling overbite and incisal decompensation. Among the strategies adopted, the distalization of the upper molars is a key step in solving dental Class II and creating adequate functional and aesthetic space for the final occlusal and aesthetic smile outcome. Particular attention is also given to torque control and vertical modulation in order to enhance smile harmony and ensure long-term stability of the treatment results. Keywords: three-dimensional control of the anterior sectors, biomechanics focused on aesthetics and function, smile display, and management of vertical dimension
