We analysed the prevalence of Angle Class II/1 and Angle Class II/2 subdivisions both to boys and girls. In the researched group, the prevalence of Angle Class II malocclusion was of 17.65%, the first subdivision having values of 13.59% and the second one II/2 of 4.06%. In the case of the schoolchildren’s place of origin (urban/rural) we noticed that the number of Angle malocclusions subdivision II/1 was three times bigger than the subdivision II/2. For both subdivisions, the values of the prevalence were almost equal to boys and girls registering a slight variation to schoolchildren aged (6 to 10) and (11 to 14), both in the rural and the urban area.
