Orthodontists are united in a quest to achieve functional, aesthetic and stable outcomes compatible with optimal health and stability of the dentition While the focus on aesthetics has intensified in recent years, the scope to alter facial growth, and in particular aesthetics, with orthodontic appliances has been disputed Functional appliance therapy offers the possibility of modifying growth, producing potentially more meaningful facial as well as inter‐arch change The skeletal and soft tissue variations in individuals are the main limiting factors in our ability to achieve the perfection we desire The use of functional appliances has been one of the more contentious areas within orthodontics for decades Paradoxically, these appliances have been relied on to produce skeletal change, dental change or a combination of both in pre‐adolescent, adolescent and indeed mature individuals for a century While users of these appliances have often harboured inconsistent objectives, the popularity of the appliances, while subject to regional variation, has been sustained and relatively consistent This book would not have been possible without the inspiration of early developers of functional appliance therapy and more recent innovators including the likes of William Clark, who have been integral in the refinement, simplification and popularity of functional appliances The authors have used functional appliances successfully both throughout our training and within our orthodontic practices in growing Class II patients Our aim within this textbook has been to highlight the rationale, indications and implications of this approach While a number of chapters are intended to have a clinical and practical focus, we hope to have maintained an evidence‐based underpinning throughout In particular, while we are aware of the limitations of much of the evidence pertaining to appliance therapy, irrespective of design, we emphasize best available e­vidence in the form of randomized studies Allied to the research focus, however, we attempt to supplement theoretical concepts with practical elements We are unapologetic in relation to our emphasis on the Twin Block, as this has proven a reliable, effective and user‐friendly appliance within our respective practices However, we endeavour to embody contemporary and universal approaches to functional treatment in an unbiased fashion, particularly by devoting chapters to both flexible and rigid fixed functional designs We therefore hope that a clinician without experience of either removable or fixed functional appliances will be capable of identifying appropriate patients, designing a suitable appliance and managing the care of a functional case effectively on the basis of this textbook To this end, we have documented a significant number of personally treated cases to augment the theory behind the biological basis and indications for functional treatment We would like to express our gratitude to a number of people who have influenced our lives and our professional careers In particular, we would like to pay tribute to our families, Caroline, Oliver, Sophie, Anne and Johnny Fleming, whose endless love and support are always appreciated We would also like to recognize Norma Lee and her children for their unlimited patience and understanding, and Dr Margaret Collins for encouraging and recommending this publication We are indebted to Dr Peter Miles, Dr Andrew DiBiase and Professor Peter Mossey for agreeing to write chapters within this book and for adding an extra dimension to our efforts Finally, we would like to acknowledge Mr Kieran McLaughln for his technical expertise and p­assion in fabricating and describing the technical aspects of a range of removable appliances Above all, we hope that you enjoy the book and that our efforts and approach have a bearing either on your treatment or on your expectations of treatment with functional appliances Dr Padhraig Fleming

to micrognathia He had a history of a left condylar fracture in infancy, with resultant (a) underdevelopment of the left condyle and ascending ramus He had an associated mandibular asymmetry and a maxillary cant related to restricted vertical development of the left  maxilla The aesthetic impairment was compounded by functional issues, with a maximal inter‐incisal opening of 12 mm (a–d) (b) (c) (d) Figure 11.4  www.ajlobby.com Cases   149 Treatment Distraction osteogenesis was performed on the left mandibular ramus to improve the skeletal II deformity, while restoring height to the ascending ramus (e–j) Post‐surgically a hybrid activator was placed for a period of months to maintain Class II correction while allowing preferential vertical development of (e) (f) the left maxillary segment, promoting correction of the ­maxillary cant (k–o) Thereafter, fixed appliances were placed to improve the occlusion The maximal inter‐incisal mouth ­opening increased to 26 mm An advancement genioplasty may  be ­considered at skeletal maturity to improve the chin prominence further (p–t) (g) (h) (i) (j) (k) Figure 11.4  (Continued ) www.ajlobby.com 150   Orthodontic functional appliances

patient (Figure 11.5) aged 12 years presented with a skeletal II profile related to mandibular retrognathia and average vertical dimension in the late mixed dentition Lips were incompetent at rest with a lower lip trap (a) (b) The arches were generally well aligned, although there was an upper midline diastema with proclined maxillary incisors There was developmental absence of the lower right second premolar In occlusion, molar and canine relationships were Class II bilaterally with an increased overjet of 11 mm (a–i) (c) Figure 11.5  www.ajlobby.com (d) Cases   153 (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) Figure 11.5  (Continued ) Treatment A modified Twin Block appliance was worn on a full‐ time  basis for 12 months, resulting in full correction of the malocclusion and improvement in the skeletal pattern Thereafter, fixed appliances were placed to finish and detail the occlusion, with indefinite retention of the lower right ­second primary molar (j–y) www.ajlobby.com 154   Orthodontic

functional appliances HF Diagnosis A female patient (Figure 11.6) aged 12 years presented with a mild skeletal III profile in the early permanent dentition There was a mild degree of both mandibular prognathism and ­maxillary retrusion She could achieve an edge‐to‐edge incisor (a) relationship, displacing anteriorly on closure into a frank reverse overjet The mandibular arch was spaced, while the upper arch was crowding, with space loss subsequent to premature loss of the maxillary right second primary molar There was a reversed overjet of mm in the displaced position (a–g) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) Figure 11.6  www.ajlobby.com Cases   157 Treatment A reverse Twin Block appliance was used for a period of 9  months to correct the incisor relationship, establishing a positive overjet and overbite with lateral open bites developing in the posterior regions bilaterally (h–m) Thereafter, fixed appliances were placed on a non‐extraction basis, with space re‐creation in the upper right side to facilitate eruption of the impacted second premolar Following treatment, facial harmony, dental aesthetics and good interdigitation were achieved (n–v) (h) (i) (j) Figure 11.6  (Continued )
