Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Functional appliances intended to alter mandibular growth play a major role in growth modification treatment. Various factors like timing of treatment, case selection, patient compliance and appliance selection contribute in determining the success of treatment. Dentists have varied thoughts on the selection and timing of treatment in functional appliance therapy. This article highlights all these factors for a successful functional appliance therapy. The special indicators for early treatment will undoubtedly be clarified as further data become available and as conclusions based on data replace clinical opinions can be the basis for determining treatment.
