Abstract :
This case report presents the treatment of a 14-year-and-8-month-old boy with Class II division 2 mandibular retrusion, severe deep
bite, and concave profile. The Forsus fatigue resistance device (FRD) was effective in correcting both skeletal and dental parameters.
At 5-year posttreatment follow-up, the teeth were well aligned and the occlusion was stable. FRD application with appropriate
treatment time can result with prominent changes in the facial profile and dentition, and the outcomes can be maintained at the
long-term follow-up periods.
