Comparative Analysis of Skeletal Changes, Occlusal Changes, and Palatal Morphology in Children with Mild Class III Malocclusion Treated with Elastodontic Appliances and Bimaxillary Plates

Background: The aim of the present study was to compare changes observed in children after early treatment mild class III malocclusion using bimaxillary removable plates supported by elastics and elastodontic devices. Methods: Twenty (mean age 7.6 ± 1.1 years) with signs were treated by-maxillary (PG group) (10 subjects = mean 7.9 1.3 or devices (EG 7.4 0.8 years). Digital models lateral cephalograms obtained before (T0) at end (T1). digital analyzed assess occlusal maxillary morphology surface-to-surface matching technique. Changes cephalometric parameters also analyzed. data outcomes statistically paired Student’s t test for inter-timing assessments independent inter-group assessments. Results: Both groups showed correction malocclusions, a significant increase ANB angle overjet (p < 0.05). Subjects PG group exhibited greater reduction inter-incisal compared EG had significantly lower percentage palatal between T0 T1 0.05), suggesting morphological palate. Conclusions: Elastodontic appliances (EAs) bi-maxillary successfully correct malocclusions children. However, improved palate, both transverse anteroposterior directions.
