[Clinical effect of Class II malocclusion treated with Forsus appliance following growth spurts]
1Department of Orthodontics, First People's Hospital of Nanping City. Nanping 353000, FuJian Province,China.
Purpose:
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.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
