This study aimed to evaluate the stress distribution and mechanical behavior of miniplate designs skeletal anchorage for treatment anterior open bite in adult patients. A complete hemimaxilla, teeth, brackets, transpalatal bar, three miniplates were virtually modeled. I-, Y-, T-shaped installed area alveolar zygomatic crest. The assembly was constricted intrusive forces (2, 4, 6 N) applied maxi...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the short-term dental and skeletal effects of a face mask (FM) with those of skeletal anchorage (SA) therapy with intermaxillary elastics in prepubertal patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion. METHODS Fifty patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion and maxillary deficiency were divided into two groups. In the FM group, an FM was app...
