Abstract

Introduction: There are various methods for managing skeletal discrepancy in Class II division 1 type of malocclusion. The treatment results for such malocclusions depend on age, growth status and patient cooperation. There are various appliances for growth modification. This article describes a new appliance, a modified Quad block appliance for correcting the sagittal discrepancy to make optimal use of pubertal growth spurt with maximum patient cooperation. This appliance would also achieve leveling and alignment at the same time.

Keywords: Modified Quad Block Appliance; Myofunctional Treatment; Skeletal Class II Malocclusion; Growth Modification
