1 I J C D C FIXED FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE: POWERSCOPE -A CASE SERIES ABSTRACT Patient cooperation has long been recognised as an important factor in te outcome of orthodontic treatment. Failure to adhere to prescribed schedules of removable appliance wear will result in slow treatment response or no response at all. To reduce these factors the fixed functional appliances were developed. These are effective for24 hour a day with minimal patient compliance. They are also referred to as non-complaince Class II devices, mainly indicated in patient of a class II malocclusion with a retrognathic mandible. Their selection varies according to the clinician preference, type of the anomaly and growth pattern. SOme of the commonly used appliances are Herbstm Jasper Jumper, MARA, Powerscope and Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device. The present case series depicts the use of Powerscope in patient of class II malocclusion. /Date of Submission : Date of Acceptance : JAN- JUNE 2018 VOL 8 ISSUE 1 Indian Journal of Comprehensive Dental Care 1.

2 correctors", as these are non-removable, requires less patient co-operation and a full time wear. These are reported to correct Class II skeletal problems by encouraging 9-10 mandibular growth in condylar or sutural region. For Class II correction Powerscope is one such latest innovation which is a direct derivative of the Herbst Type II appliance. Dr. Andy Hayes worked in conjunction with American Orthodontics to develop PowerScope. This appliance addresses critical needs of the orthodontist Figure 1- Pre-treatment Extra oral photographs Figure 2- Pre-treatment Intra oral photographs Figure 3- Pre-treatment Lateral cephalograph Figure 4- Intra oral photographs with appliance Figure 5- Post treatment photographs Figure 6- Pretreatment extra oral photographs Figure 7- Pretreatment Intra oral photographs Figure 8 - Pretreatment lateral cephalogram Figure 9- Intra oral photographs with Powerscope Figure 10- Post fixed functional therapy photographs Indian Journal of Comprehensive Dental Care 1062
