Abstract:

The goal of this thesis was to compare the skeletal and dental effects of the Forsus trademark appliance observed on patients during peak growth versus post peak growth.The hypothesis was established that patients undergoing Class II treatment with a Forsus trademark appliance during peak growth velocity would experience a larger degree of skeletal change than that observed in patients undergoing treatment with the same appliance, who have completed peak growth.
