ABSTRACT
Management of class II malocclusion in adolescents by growth modulation is one of the most difficult and commonly encountered scenario in clinical orthodontics. Noncompliance has been a major concern for orthodontists. This case report describes the management of class II malocclusion in young adult with Forsus fatigue resistance device (3M Unitek, 2724 S., Peck Road, Monrovia, CA 91096; www.3Munitek.com), a fixed functional appliance, that is now most widely used for correction of Class II malocclusion. A common problem with this appliance is frequent debonding of mandibular canine brackets. The present article also describes a simple, chairside fabrication of acrylic button that will ensure prevention of debonding of brackets. This case report illustrates that functional appliances even today have a significant role in growth modulation that further minimizes the necessity of extraction of permanent teeth and orthognathic surgery.
