BRINGING THE MANDIBLE FORWARD: BY FORSUS WAY (CLINICAL CASE REPORT)

Abstract

We are in the process of discovering new vistas for where technological advances are concerned specially in terms of various appliances. The ultimate aim is to achieve successful orthodontic treatment, with minimal compliance of the patient.

Due to improved technology, the enigma of treating the class II syndrome is palliated. "Out of the box" thinking has become a norm to treat certain situations that were not corrected in non-compliant patients.

Fixed functional appliances are valuable tools introduced to assist in the correction of skeletal class II malocclusion with mandibular retrognathia, Joining hands with technology is a win win situation for both the patient and the orthodontist.

In this direction a case is reported of a 18year old patient undergoing the orthodontic treatment by using Forsus fixed functional appliance.
