Treatment of adult class II division 2 with deep bite using Forsus appliance and intrusion with TADs

Abstract

This case report details the treatment of a 23-year-old female patient with Class II division 2 malocclusion with a Class II skeletal base due to a retrognathic mandible. The condition was further complicated by a complete overbite, absence of tooth #36, and a gummy smile. The Forsus appliance has shown to be effective in correcting Class II malocclusion in adult patients, with significant improvements in bite and facial esthetics. The use of temporary anchorage devices for intrusion resulted in lower overbite and increased actual intrusion compared with alternative methods for intruding upper incisors.
