Abstract	The fixed or removable orthodontic appliances mostly use intrinsic force to move teeth. The force is exerted by the appliance and is dissipated against the teeth and supporting structures. The skeletal Class II correctors evolved from the various modifications of the original activator. These appliances reposition the mandible in downward and forward direction, activating the attached and associated muscle. The resultant force thus created is transmitted not only to the teeth but also to the other structures of maxilla and mandible. Functional appliances have been broadly divided into two categories removable and fixed functional appliances. Fixed functional appliances are advised for non-compliant patients and patients nearing growth completion.
