    Class II malocclusions may involve a dental, dentoalveolar or skeletal component, with an estimated 35% of all malocclusions, being one of the most common reasons whereby patients attend an orthodontic consultation. Treatment for class II malocclusion can be developed through two different modalities: early or two-phase treatment and late or one-phase treatment, the object of both therapies are the same, therefore the aim of this literature review was to gather the most clinically relevant findings to make a comparative evaluation between these two methods. The literature review was performed analyzing 20 articles from Pubmed, ScienceDirect and Cochrane databases. When the two treatment modalities were compared, we found some advantages of early treatment in relation to late treatment, however, the final outcome was the same, for this reason the expert will have to evaluate the individual features of each patient to make a timely treatment plan.
