objective: attempts to treat class ii malocclusions without extraction in non-compliant patients have led to utilization of intraoral molar distalizing appliances. the purpose of this study was to investigate dental and skeletal effects of bonded molar distalizer (bmd) which is a simple molar distalizing appliance. materials and methods: sixteen patients (12 girls, four boys) with bilateral hal...

abstract background and aim: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the cephalometric changes in class ii division 1 mandibular deficient patients treated with farmand functional appliance.  methods and materials: twenty-seven subjects (17 girls and 10 boys) with the mean age of 11.1±1.4 years were involved in the present study. all the subjects were treated with farmand functional applia...

Orthodontists correct dental malocclusion, but major facial skeleton deformations (skeletal malocclusion) are often subject to surgical correction. Several speech pathologies associated with both of the occlusal anomalies mentioned above. The majority articulation disorders and primary functions cannot be improved without skeletal This study aimed investigate outcome multimodal logopaedics trea...

An account of an experimental treatment of a certain type of malocdusion has been recently published. The study was concerned prinliarily with testing the validity of an accepted principle of orthodontic treatment in a series of patients. Further observations on one of these patients, bearing on the etiology of her ocdusal deformity as well as on the problem of retention of the corrected teeth ...

Researchers have used a variety of techniques to distinguish between the distinct elements malocclusion. While some academics various indices determine prevalence, majority researchers followed Angle's categorization. Individual malocclusion studies, such as those looking at class II or III malocclusion, employed cephalometric analysis. Objectives: There is currently lack information in literat...

background: functional appliances such as bionator have been used to treat class ii malocclusion. the purpose of this study was to compare the skeletal, dental and soft tissue effects of bionator appliances with multi-p (a newly developed appliance) in the treatment of class ii malocclusion. subjects and methods: 45 class ii children were chosen and randomly assigned to either the bionator or m...

Pseudo class III malocclusion is due to immature contact of incisors resulting in a forward shift mandible. A 13-year-old male patient presented with the complaint inability bite properly pseudo skeletal malocclusion, functional shift, and reverse overjet which was treated fixed orthodontic treatment. The total treatment duration 21 months correction discrepancy between centric occlusion relati...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of malocclusion among children with primary dentition in Xi'an, China. METHODS A total of 2,974 subjects were selected from local schools in Xi'an city using a stratified cluster sampling method from January to September 2015. After screening samples according to the inclusion criteria, the final sample size comp...

Open bite is a malocclusion that occurs in the vertical plane, characterized by lack of vertical overlap between the maxillary and Mandibular dentition. The anterior open bites particularly skeletal open bites are called as “stigmata of malocclusion”. The varied etiological characterstic features of openbite are discussed in this article. Openbites are easy to diagnose but difficult to retain. ...
