Results The manifestation of hard tissue change was mainly the decrease of the upper incisor labial inclination while that of soft tissue change was the increase of Cm-Sn-Ls angle and SnLs-SiLi angle. The profile of soft and hard tissue has improved distinctly .Conclusions The application of individualized bracket system in lingual appliance in treating angle class Ⅱ malocclusion of adult patients can also obtain good correction results.
