ABSTRACT

This article presents a clinical case in which the Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance (MARA) was used, which consists of a fixed device indicated in patients with Class II malocclusion (skeletal and / or dental); that placed at early ages achieves excellent results while reducing the need for extraction and / or orthognathic surgery in the future. Objective. Show the results obtained in a skeletal class II patient due to a protrusive maxilla and dental class II div 1in which the MARA was used to carry out the correction of the malocclusion. Case presentation: Patient 9 years old male, diagnosed with skeletal class II due to a protrusive maxilla, convex profile, normal growth type, was treated with the functional apparatus (MARA) and orthodontic fixed appliances after use of this. Conclusion. Favorable changes were obtained in the skeletal and dental structures with the use of the MARA device, achieving an adequate occlusion.
