Treatment of Class II, 2 Malocclusion Using a New Herbst-Type Appliance (The Biobitecorrector®): A Case Report - Abstract
An Angle Class II case with a relative mandibular retrognathism,treated with anew fixed functional appliance with rigid arms (the Biobitecorrector®), which may be used alternatively
to the Herbst appliance, and simultaneously with full fixed mechanisms is presented. The results indicate that the corrections achieved resemble those produced by similar types of functional appliances. The benefits as well as the possible problemswhich may arisefrom using this device are also discussed. However, further investigation based on a larger number of cases is required before more solid conclusions are drawn on the effectiveness of this appliance.
