Various treatment strategies are adopted to correct a Class II malocclusion depending on the age, the amount of remaining growth and severity of malocclusion. Single arch extraction of the lowers is rarely done in a Class II malocclusion. The following case report describes an alternate treatment approach of an adolescent Class II patient treated with a combination of headgear, fixed functional appliance (forsus), and single arch extraction only in the lower arch. The case was finished in a Class III molar and a Class I canine relationship. The results were stable in 3 years follow-up.

Class II malocclusion in pubertal phase presents a major and a common challenge to orthodontists. Proper diagnosis and treatment planning in early stage help in preventing and intercepting the severity of malocclusion. In pubertal phase skeletal Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrusion are best treated with functional appliance. In recent time PowerScope fixed functional appliance is gaining immense popularity as noncompliant Class II corrector. In the present case report an adolescent male patient having Class II division 1 malocclusion with functional jaw retrusion was treated using MBT 0.022” prescription and PowerScope appliance. 7-8 months of PowerScope wear obtained stable and successful results with improvement in facial profile, skeletal jaw relationship and mild increase in IMPA. It can thus be concluded that PowerScope gives good results in Class II correction with a combination of patient comfort and ease of use that was unmatched among other appliances

ABSTRACT Background Management of class II malocclusion in adolescent patients by growth modulation is one of the most debated topics in orthodontics. Noncompliance has been a major concern for orthodontists. Case report This case report describes the management of severe class II malocclusion in adolescent patient using functional appliance system—Forsus to correct class II problems, which is clipped on to bands. This appliance has several advantages, as the patient cannot remove it. It acts on the teeth and jaws for 24 hours each day, patient cooperation is not a problem, and as a result the treatment time is short. There is lot of controversy about the use of functional appliances. Conclusion This case report illustrates that even today, functional appliances have a significant role in the management of class II malocclusion by using growth modulation. The growth modulation minimizes the necessity of extraction of permanent teeth and probably orthognathic surgery. Clinical significance Functional appliances have a significant role in the management of class II malocclusion. The growth modulation minimizes the necessity of extraction of permanent teeth and probably orthognathic surgery. How to cite this article Vijayalakshmi PS, Veereshi AS.

Treatment of complex malocclusion poses a challenge for the orthodontist because of its multifactorial aetiology. Class II malocclusion is the most frequently encountered and treated malocclusion in orthodontic practice and affects approximately 14.6 % of the North Indian population.1 A common reason for Class II malocclusion is mandibular skeletal retrusion which is the most common characteristic, as reported by McNamara.2 This can be caused by genetic or hereditary factors. When evaluating treatment options for Class II patients, the extent of the skeletal discrepancy and the skeletal maturity of the patient needs to be considered. Treatment may range from dental compensation including camouflage with extractions to surgical procedures targeted at moving the jaw at fault. In growing patients, growth modification with functional appliances offers an intermediate treatment option. Functional appliances are basically of two types; Removable and Fixed. Removable functional appliances such as Activator, Bionator, Frankel Function regulator and Twin Block appliance change Class II relationship by the transmission of soft tissue tension to the dentition. Treatment success with these appliances relies heavily on patient compliance. Therefore, in non-compliant patients, fixed Class II correctors in conjunction with fixed orthodontic appliances are the best choice.3 Fixed functional appliances generate continuous stimuli for mandibular growth without break and permit better adaptation to functions like mastication, swallowing, speech and respiration.1 The Herbst fixed functional appliance has been used routinely for Class II patients and has undergone many design variations over time.4 The AdvanSync2 Class II corrector is a recently introduced fixed functional appliance. It has a much smaller size than the conventional Herbst appliances, is easier to place, activate and remove and most importantly, can be used in conjunction with full-arch fixed appliances throughout.3 Here we describe a case report of a patient treated with the AdvanSync2 Class II corrector and the findings observed in the sagittal and vertical dimensions

ABSTRACTBased on our literature search, we found that the use of miniplate anchorage with Forsus fatigue-resistance device (FRD) has not yet been reported. Therefore, the aim of the present case report was to present the treatment of a patient with skeletal Class II malocclusion with mandibular retrusion using Forsus FRD with miniplate anchorage. Fixed appliances with 0.022-inch slots were attached to the maxillary teeth and after 8 months of the leveling and alignment of the upper arch, 0.019 × 0.025-inch stainless steel archwire was inserted and cinched back. Two weeks after the placement of the miniplates bilaterally at the symphysis of the mandible, Forsus FRD was adjusted to the miniplates with a 35-mm length of rod chosen. Nine months after the skeletal anchored Forsus worn, Class I canine and molar relations were achieved and overjet was eliminated.

This case report was submitted to the board under category II for the Indian Board of Orthodontics examination in November 2017. This case report illustrated the treatment of class II division 1 malocclusion by pre-adjusted appliance along with Forsus Fatigue Resistance Device (FRD) fixed functional appliance (single-phase treatment) in a 13.6 year-old female patient whose growth was about to cease. The summary of the treatment, various records, treatment progress, and critical appraisal are reprinted here with minimal editing and reformatting, and hence, the presentation resembles the actual documents submitted to the board.

A technique is described for the correction of Class II malocclusion involving a functional appliance and consisting of three phases. 1. Adjustment of posterior arch width and dental alignment, using semi-rapid maxillary expansion by means of an upper removable appliance, to co-ordinate the anticipated positions for the arches. 2. Correction of the Class II dental relationships using a modification of the twin-block functional appliance. 3. Retention, using an upper removable appliance with a very steep anterior bite plane. The technique is illustrated by a case report.
