This case report describes 3-year follow-up of orthodontic treatment of a patient with Class II div 1 malocclusion who have 11 mm of overjet and 5 mm of overbite. Extractions of maxillary first and mandibular second premolars were carried out. Maxillary anteriors were retracted using extra-oral force in the form of J-hook headgear.
