Abstract

Class II malocclusion is one of the common deformities which one comes across in the clinical scenario. Clinical and radiographic assessment helps us in diagnosing the skeletal and dental components of class II as correct diagnosis and age of patient are the keys to successful management of such cases. Among the various treatment modalities available for managing the skeletal and dental Class II, fixed functional appliances are the recently introduced non-compliance dependent alternatives for management of such cases. These appliances work best during post pubertal stages and allow for the correction of skeletal and dental class II I varying proportions. The present case report describes a case of Class II malocclusion with horizontal growth pattern treated with Powerscope appliance. This hybrid fixed functional appliance allowed for the successful achievement of the treatment objectives.
Keywords: Fixed functional appliance.
