Maxillary Arch Effects Of Fixed Functional Appliances In Correction Of Class II Malocclusion: A Prospective Comparative Clinical Study

Abstract

The Objective of this study was to compare skeletal and dental effects produced by two fixed functional appliances (Forsus Fatigue Resistance and Advancesync II) in patients with class II malocclusion. This study was conducted on 30 orthodontic patients with an age range from 14- to 16-year-old who were collected from the outpatient clinic at Orthodontic Department, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Assiut, Egypt. They were randomly divided into 2 equal groups; each consisted of 15 patients, Group 1: Forsus appliance group. Group 2: Advancsync II group. The results showed non statistically significant differences between the two groups. Consequently, non-statistically significant differences were found in dentoalveolar parameters and skeletal parameters.
