Orthodontic functional appliances are an essential part of an orthodontist's armamentarium. The amount of their use varies greatly, some feeling they have limited use with minor effects, others claiming dramatic changes in facial growth and appearance, without significant genetic constraints. The evidence on clinical use is not equivocal, the general results however not showing an unlimited amount of skeletal change, but rather a balance of change in the growth of the facial bones and dentition with clinically significant changes in the facial soft tissues. This article examines the current evidence.

ABSTRACT Functional appliances have been used for many years in the treatment of class II malocclusions. They redirect the growth of mandible bringing about a skeletal change in a growing patient. In case of any remaining dental discrepancy, a fixed appliance is obligatory. This patient was an 11-year-old growing female with a convex profile, receding chin, lower lip trap, class II skeletal and dental relationship, a large overjet and overbite and a high maxillary labial frenum attachment. Treatment started with the Twin-block appliance with an expansion screw to achieve transverse correction, promote growth of the mandible and improve her profile. This was followed by fixed appliance mechanotherapy to align and level the dentition, close spaces and retract the maxillary anteriors. Frenectomy was carried out after space closure.
