Abstract

  Class II malocclusion is one of the frequently discussed malocclusion in Orthodontic literature. However, its correction becomes crucial part of treatment planning depending upon the etiology of malocclusion, age of the patient and also patient cooperation. Fixed functional appliances has been widely used in orthodontic practice for correction of Class II malocclusion. In spite of wide popularity, fixed functional appliances has its own advantages and disadvantages. Current literature review provides detailed information about fixed functional appliances and its use in orthodontics.
