OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effect of Forsus appliance in the treatment of patients with Class II malocclusion after growth spurts. METHODS Twenty-two patients with Class IImalocclusion were treated with Fursus appliance.Cephalogram pre-and post-treatment was taken,and the clinical effect was evaluated.SPASS14.0 software package was used for paired t test. RESULTS Six to eight months after treatment, SNB increased (1.4±0.002)°,overbite and overjet decreased (5±0.000) mm and (5.5±0.000) mm, the relationship of molar reached ClassⅠ, upper incisiors were retruded (1.5±0.004)°, while low incisiors were proclined (1.3±0.005)°. Significant difference was found before and after treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The growth of mandible was promoted remarkably by Forsus appliance following growth spurts, the relationship of molar and profile were also improved.

D008963 Molar The most posterior teeth on either side of the jaw, totaling eight in the deciduous dentition (2 on each side, upper and lower), and usually 12 in the permanent dentition (three on each side, upper and lower). They are grinding teeth, having large crowns and broad chewing surfaces. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p821) Molars

D017289 Orthodontic Appliances, Functional Loose, usually removable intra-oral devices which alter the muscle forces against the teeth and craniofacial skeleton. These are dynamic appliances which depend on altered neuromuscular action to effect bony growth and occlusal development. They are usually used in mixed dentition to treat pediatric malocclusions.

D057887 Overbite A malocclusion in which maxillary incisor and canine teeth project over the mandibular teeth excessively. The overlap is measured perpendicular to the occlusal plane and is also called vertical overlap. When the overlap is measured parallel to the occlusal plane it is referred to as overjet.
