Abstract

Class II malocclusion is one of the most common malocclusion in orthodontic patients seeking orthodontic treatment and it occurs in about one third of population. In growing patients skeletal discrepancy can be corrected by using removable and fixed functional appliances. These appliances are capable of altering direction and amount of growth of individual. Use of removable appliances needs patient compliance for their effectiveness. So to make these appliances non dependent on patients, fixed functional appliances were introduced. This review will discuss the history, classification, indications and skeletal/dental effects of fixed appliances.
