Objectives: To determine the appropriate timing for treatment of Class II Division 1 malocclusion. Materials and methods: We conducted a review of the literature to analyze the controversy surrounding the use single-phase versus two-phase orthodontic treatment for this type of malocclusion. Results: The evidence shows that early orthodontic treatment is effective in specific clinical situations, but in many other cases, later single-phase treatment is more appropriate. Conclusions: The practicing orthodontist should tailor treatment timing to the specific clinical situation.
