Abstract
Objective: To compare dental, skeletal and soft tissue cephalometric changes in patients treated with Forsus fatigue resistant devices in Class II Division I malocclusion and its comparison with the Churro Jumper and the Herbst Appliance. Materials and Methods: Thirty- two young adult patients (age 13 -17 years, overjet >6 mm) with a Class II Division 1 malocclusion were randomly divided into three groups: group 1 (G1) treated with Churro jumper, group 2 (G2) with a Herbst and group 3 (G3) with a Forsus. Dentoskeletal and soft tissue changes were analyzed on lateral cephalograms taken before (T1) and after (T2) and at the end of the treatment. Results: All three appliances were useful in improving the overjet and interincisal relationships. Extrusion and mesial movement of the lower molar, together with lower incisor proclination, distalization and intrusion of the upper molars were noted in G1, G2, G3. More skeletal changes were seen with the Herbst appliance as compared to the Churro Jumper and the Forsus appliance. The nasolabial angle increased in the Herbst and the Forsus group. FORSUS™ is a product of 3M Unitek HERBST™ is a product of Dentaurum Conclusions: All three fixed functional appliances provide adequate dental compensation for the Class II malocclusion. More of skeletal changes were seen with the Hersbt appliance as compared to the Churro Jumper and Forsus group.
