Revolutionizing Class II Division 1 Malocclusion Treatment With Forsus Appliance: A Clinical Case
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.
