Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical effects of Forsus appliance in the treatment of Mandibular Retrusion during the peak stage of development. Methods 11 Mandibular Retrusion patients were treated with Forsus appliance. Winceph 7.0 Cephalograms Analysis Software was used to analyze lateral cephalograms before and after the treatment. .Results ANB decreased by 3.36°while SNB increased by 3.05° and the mandibular body length was 3.34mm longer. The distance from Pg to OLP plane increased by 2.32mm with overjet decreased and the molar relationship improved significantly. Conclusion Forsus appliance is effective to correct Mandibular retrusion at the peak stage of development. It can stimulate the mandibular growth and improve sagittal discrepancy and soft tissue profile convexity significantly.
