Unilateral class II malocclusion has been treated along the history of orthodontics by multiple approaches. The treatment tendencies reflect the development of technology and treatment efficiency. Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are now considered the best way to treat unilateral malocclusion without extractions, because is not dependent of patient cooperation. The following case report of a male, 18 year old, patient, presenting a class II malocclusion of 5 mm in the right hand side, suggest a treatment approach based on the use of TADs and explains previous approaches to treat unilateral class II malocclusions. The treatment outcome was both aesthetic and functional.
