Camouflage Treatment of a Patient with a Skeletal Class II Malocclusion Using a MARA Appliance and Cortical Anchorage

An adult patient with an Angle Class II malocclusion treated with a fixed functional appliance (M.A.R.A. - Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance) in terms of a camouflage therapy is presented. Proclination of the mandibular incisors which is an effect often described with reference to such appliances could be counteracted by cortical anchorage. It was shown that a Class II malocclusion might be transferred into a Class I occlusion without corrective osteotomy even after skeletal growth has been completed.
