The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dentoskeletal effects of Modified Maxillary Splint with Headgear in growing Class II division 1 cases. Sixteen female patients were selected for this study. The mean age of the patients was 10 years, 1 month. All patients were treated by Modified Maxillary Splint with Headgear for an average of 11 months .The cephalometric radiographs and the study models were analyzed and the collected data were subjected to statistical analysis. Statistical paired T test was done to determine the significant difference between the pretreatment and posttreatment measurements. The Modified Maxillary Splint with Headgear had skeletal and dental effects. The forward maxillary growth was restrained however, the mandibular growth was stimulated. The maxillomandibular relationship was improved. In addition, while the lower incisors showed a noticeable anterior movement and proclination. The overjet was significantly improved. Conclusion: The Modified Maxillary Splint with Headgear was effective in treatment of growing Class II division 1 patients. The appliance produced skeletal and dental effects.
