7. Growth Directions
Growth at the Maxillary sutures produces an
increase in distance from Nasion to anterior
nasal spine.
This moves the Maxillary molars and
posterior nasal spine to move away from the
base of the skull.
Growth at the posterior alveolar process
causes the molar teeth to move away from
the palatal plane.
Growth at the mandibular posterior alveolar
process causes the molars to move
occlusally.

10. Skeletal Problems
Class II. M.O. can develop due to:-
Prognathic Maxilla with normal
mandible
Retrognathic Mandible with normal
maxilla
Combinations.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. Management of Maxillary
Prognathism
By extra oral traction- Facebow attached to
splint or upper molar bands.
Head gear force of 450 to 550 gms and
should be worn 14 hrs a day.
Cervical pull head gear:- Indicated in
patients with decreased vertical dimension.
Outer bow lies above plane of occlusion to
direct force through center of resistance
and prevent distal tipping of molars.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. High Pull Head Gear
Indicated in patients with increased
vertical dimension.
Face bow is anchored to an
occipital anchoring unit to produce
vertically directed force.
High pull head gear can decrease
vertical growth of maxilla thus
allowing auto rotation of mandible.

16. Head Gear (contd)
Mauric Firouz & Ravindra Nanda
have demonstrated,when force is
directed at the level of trifurcation
of maxillary molars significant
distal movement and intrusion of
molars was achieved.
Medium pull head gear is indicated
in average angle cases.

18. Management of Mandibular
Deficiency
Functional appliances forms the main
stay for treatment of mandibular
deficiency in growing children.
Criteria for case selection.
Individuals with growth potential.
Retrognathic mandible.
Deep bite.
Horizontal Growth Pattern.

42. Management in adolescent
Period
Camaflouge treatment
Teeth are displaced relative to their
supporting bone to compensate for underlying
jaw discrepancy.
Indications for Class II.
Too old for successful growth modification.
Mild to moderate skeletal class II.
Reasonable good alignment of teeth.
Good vertical facial proportions - neither short
/ long face.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Extractions in class II
Extractions of upper bicuspids only with lower
non-extraction.
Extractions of upper bicuspids and lower
second bicuspids.
Extraction of upper bicuspids and lower
bicuspids with severe lower crowding.
Distalization of molars with extraction of
second molars.
Upto 4mm of distal movement of 1st molar is
possible by extraction of 2nd molars. ( Witzig
& Sphal).

55. Average changes brought about by
functional appliance therapy
Condylar growth amounts to 1 to 3 mms
mandiblle outgrows maxilla by 1+/- 0.5 mm.
Fossa growth and adaptation-0.5 to 1 mm.
Eliminating functional retrusion-0.5 to 1 mm.
More favourable growth direction (trabecular
angle) 0.5 to 1 mm.
With holding of downward and forward maxillary
arch movement 1 to 2 mm.
Differential upward and forward eruption of
buccal segments 1.5 to 2.5 mm.
Head gear effect 1 to 2 mm.(Woodside &
Altuna ). www.indiandentalacademy.com
56. Studies on Functional appliances
Vangeral and Harvold (1985) conducted a
study on the effects of activator and found:-
Inhibition of forward growth of maxilla.
Inhibition of mesial migration of maxillary
teeth.
Inhibition of maxillary alveolar height
increase.
Increased growth of the mandible.
Anterior relocation of glenoid fossa.
Mesial movement of mandibular teeth.
Combination of effects.
Uprighting of maxillary incisors.

57. Studies On Functional appliance
(contd)
Frank weiland, Bergt Ingerval et al
compared the effects of Herren activator,
Activator head gear and Jasper jumper and
demonstrated higher percentage of success
with Jasper jumper (1997).
Frankel studied the effect of Frankel
appliance and found(1987).
It is a suitable orthopedic exercise device.
It produces an undisturbed dento alveolar
development in the critical period of
eruption.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
74. Treatment effects of Twin block
Christine Mills (1998) compared the effects of
twin block appliance with untreated control
and found .
Mandibular growth to be 4.2 mm greater than
control.
Condylion to Gnathion inreased by 6.5 mm
compared to control which was 2.5 only.
Ramus increased by2/3rd and body length
inreased by 1/3rd.
S.N.to mandibular plane angle- no statistical
significance was found.
Dento alveolar effect contributed to overjet
reduction.

80. Treatment Plan
In Skeletal Problems During Growth Phase
Phase I:-
•To promote growth of maxilla in
Sagittal and transverse planes if
maxilla is deficient.
•To restrict or redirect growth of
mandible if prognathic.
Phase II:-To establish proper occlusion with
aesthetic and functional balance.www.indiandentalacademy.com

• Educate the patient
• Project the treatment outcome with varied
treatment objectives
• Visualize Facial effects of treatment before
