        abstract = {A unilateral scissor bite involving the second molar is a relatively uncommon but significant malocclusion that can lead to functional, aesthetic, and periodontal complications if left untreated. This case report discusses the orthodontic correction of a unilateral second molar scissor bite in a 22-year-old patient. The treatment approach involved Modified TPA combined with fixed orthodontic appliances to achieve proper occlusal relationships. The intervention successfully corrected the scissor bite, improved masticatory function, and enhanced overall occlusal harmony. The treatment duration was approximately 12 months, with stable post-treatment results observed at the 6-month follow-up.},
