While the use of this appliance would appear to require relatively litlle operative time, it must be clearly understood that the function of this appliance is not as predictable as that of other types of removable devices. Under such circumstances, it is of great importance to ensure that a correct diagnosis and evaluation of the original condition has been made relative to the listed criteria; all factors must be considered and no diagnosis should be made purely and simply on the basis of an obvious increase in overjet and a class II malocclusion. In addition, the personality and nature of the patient is of paramount importance, since it is his cooperation and interest that in the end will lead to successful therapy.
