Functional jaw orthopaedic appliances are a treatment modality for the correction of Class II malocclusions due to mandibular retrusion. A wide range of functional appliances which aim to stimulate mandibular growth by holding the mandible forward is available to correct this type of skeletal and occlusal disharmony. However, the effects of functional appliances are still controversial. Numerous animal experiments and clinical studies have been performed to help ascertain the mechanisms underlying the effects of functional appliances and the optimal timing of treatment. This literature review will be restricted to a discussion of the role of functional appliance therapy in the treatment of class II malocclusions.
