TL;DR

This paper presents a clinical case showing how the Forsus appliance effectively treats Class II Division 1 malocclusion in growing patients.

Contribution

The study highlights the Forsus appliance's effectiveness in treating Class II Division 1 malocclusion during deceleration growth stages.

Findings

The Forsus appliance successfully corrected dental and skeletal discrepancies in a growing patient.

Favorable orthodontic outcomes were achieved using the Forsus appliance in the deceleration growth phase.

The case demonstrates the appliance's role in managing functional and aesthetic concerns related to Class II malocclusion.

Abstract

Angle's Class II Division 1 malocclusion is illustrated as a prominent maxilla along with protrusive maxillary anteriors, mandibular retrognathism, or both, often leading to functional and aesthetic concerns. Effective management of this condition in growing patients typically involves a combination of functional and orthodontic appliances to correct dental and skeletal discrepancies. Treating this malocclusion in the deceleration stages of growth is often challenging for orthodontists. This case report exemplifies the potency of Forsus appliance in addressing Class II Division 1 malocclusion in growing patients, underscoring its role in achieving favorable orthodontic outcomes.
