“…(1) Fixed Lingual Mandibular Growth Modificator (FLMGM) was first introduced by Osama Alali. (2) He verified the effectiveness of this appliance in correcting of skeletal Class II division 1 malocclusion in a number of studies. (3)(4)(5) The authors of the present study modified the original appliance to treat class II division 1 with combined maxillary protrusion and mandibular retrusion.…”

“…This can be attributed to two causes: (1) there is no mesial force acting on the lower teeth, because the inclined guiding plane does not contact the lower anteriors. (2) There is mechanism of muscular equilibrium breaking between the tongue and lips. Distal movement of upper first molars was expected the load of the functional appliance mostly transmitted through the upper molars.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the skeletal and dental changes of Class II division 1 malocclusion corrected by Modified Fixed Lingual Mandibular Growth Modificator (MFLMGM). Materials and Method: This study was conducted on a sample of 15 patients, which they presented with CL II division 1 malocclusion. Overjet was ≥ 8mm. Age ranges from 9-12 year. The maxilla was protruded and the mandible was retruded. Results: The results showed that the maxillary growth was not significantly affected by MFLMGM treatment while the mandible was advanced. The overjet reduction was 7mm, and overbite reduction was 2.2mm. A reduction of 2.9 o in ANB was largely due to an increase of 2.3 o in SNB, slight non-significant increase in posterior facial height (S-GO) was 1.4mm. The changes in the other vertical skeletal relationships were negligible. Conclusion: Modified Fixed Lingual Mandibular Growth Modificator (MFLMGM) was successful in treatment cases of severe overjet skeletal Class II division 1 malocclusions. MFLMGM can control degree of severe overjet in treatment of skeletal Class II division 1 malocclusion by Gurin lock. Distal movement of upper molars were an important required in correction of molar relationship.
