Non extraction treatment of growing skeletal class II B malocclusion with Forsus Fatigue Resistant Appliance- A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the treatment and post-treatment dentoskeletal effects induced by the Forsus device (FRD) in a growing patient with Class II malocclusion. A 13year old non-compliant male patient with Class II division1 malocclusion was treated with MBT 022in pre-adjusted edgewise appliance. After initial alignment and levelling, Forsus fixed functional appliance was placed and was continued for 6 months. Results: At the end of the treatment there was significant reduction in overjet, overbite and correction of molar relationship. In sagittal plane, upper molar showed slight retrusive effect, upper incisors showed retroclination, mesialization of lower molars and lower incisor proclination were also seen. In vertical plane lower incisors showed intrusion and upper molars also showed some intrusion. Mandibular plane angle increased, convexity of profile improved, but less skeletal changes were seen. Conclusion: The FRD protocol was effective in correcting Class II malocclusion skeletally but mainly at the dentoalveolar level.
