Early treatment for Class II malocclusion was undertaken with the objective of correcting skeletal disproportion by altering the growth pattern. A case of Class II, Division 1 malocclusion in the mixed dentition was corrected to Class I molar relationship using orthopedic cervical headgear, with nonextraction edgewise therapy. Cephalometric analysis indicated a reduction in the maxillomandibula...

UNLABELLED Four premolar extractions is a successful protocol to treat Class I malocclusion, but it is a less efficient way when compared with other Class II treatment protocols. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of anteroposterior discrepancy on the success of four premolar extractions protocol. For that, treatment efficiency of Class I and complete Class II...

The present study reports a case of Angle Class II malocclusion treatment of a male growing patient with 10-mm overjet, excessive overbite and transverse maxillary deficiency. The case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (BBO), with DI equal to or greater than 10, as a requirement for the title of certified by the BBO.

Angle Class III malocclusion is characterized by an anteroposterior dental discrepancy with or without anteroposterior and vertical skeletal changes. Patients usually seek orthodontic treatment because facial appearance is compromised in most cases. The present study describes the clinical case of a 12-year and 6-month-old girl in her final stage of pubertal growth presenting Class III malocclu...

The study was carried out to investigate the etiological skeletal factors differentiating class 2 malocclusions from class one malocclusion patients at Jinnah Medical & Dental College, Orthodontics department. A total of 34 (M:F ratio 13: 2 1) skeletal class 1 malocclusion patients (group A) and 39 (M:F ratio 23:16) severe class 2 division one malocclusion (group B) patients were selected at th...

introduction: this study aims at examining the difference of pharyngeal airways in patients with different occlusion postures, hoping to im prove diagnostic methods and provide a stable treatment plan for orthodontic patients. materials and methods: the data were ga-thered through cbct radiographies of patients from a specialized center for radiology. in each occlusion group according to the pe...

INTRODUCTION Previous studies reported small but significant skeletal changes as a result of early treatment of Class II malocclusion with headgear and functional appliances. In this study, we report on the skeletal changes for 1-phase and 2-phase treatment of Class II malocclusion. METHODS This was a prospective randomized clinical trial conducted sy the Department of Orthodontics at the Uni...

Aim: To analyse glenoid fossa position in Class I, II (div 1 and 2) malocclusions and to analyse variation in the shape of the glenoid fossa in different mandibular configurations. Materials and Methods: The cephalometric study was carried on lateral films of 45 subjects aged 12 18 years. They were divided into three groups based on the ANB angle (and anterior occlusal relation) and also based ...

BACKGROUND Electromyographic analysis of the masticatory muscles provides useful data on the behavior of these muscles during stomatognathic system functioning and allows a functional assessment of orthodontic treatments. This study was undertaken to verify if achieving an Angle Class I bite through orthodontic treatment can lead to neuromuscular balance. METHODS This study enrolled 30 patien...
