Abstract

In orthodontics, the most prevalent sagittal problem is Class II malocclusion, which affects one-third of the population. During active growth, myofunctional appliances are usually used to address sagittal discrepancies associated with the retruded mandible. Due to non-compliance with traditional myofunctional appliances, fixed functional appliances have been developed.Powerscope appliance is used to successfully manage the growing skeletal class II malocclusion for the correction of skeletal and dental parameters. The patient's profile dramatically showed improvement with the reduction in ANB angle by 4 degrees.
