Abstract

Among all malocclusions, Angle's Class II malocclusion is the most prevalent, which may be either skeletal or dental and present with different clinical manifestations. There are a number of appliances to treat such malocclusion in a growing child, including extra-oral appliances, functional appliances, and fixed functional appliances. On the other hand, correction of Class II malocclusions in non-growing patients usually involves orthognathic surgery or selective removal of permanent teeth, with subsequent dental camouflage to mask the underlying skeletal discrepancy. Fixed functional appliances are indicated for Class II corrections in patients who report late with minimal residual growth left. This article discusses a case of Class II skeletal and dental malocclusion treated with a Preadjusted Edgewise Appliance (PEA) supplemented with the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (FORSUS).
