The purpose of this study was to determine the vertical and sagittal effects of bonded rapid
maxillary expansion (RME), and bonded slow maxillary expansion (SME) procedures, and …

Introduction: The purpose of this controlled randomized clinical trial was to quantify the
effects of maxillary protraction with or without palatal expansion. Methods: Forty-six children …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the skeletal and dentoalveolar changes achieved by a
modified protractor in growing skeletal and dental Class III patients and to compare these …

This study evaluated the treatment response and posttreatment follow-up of children with
Class III malocclusions treated with palatal expansion and reverse-pull face mask to the …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of orthodontic treatment with a maxillary
protraction bow appliance on anterior crossbite patients with Class III malocclusion in the …

The conventional treatment of anterior crossbites has been the application of orthopedic
force to the mandible to redirect its growth. However, in the patient with an underdeveloped …

Orthodontists are particularly interested in knowing exactly what skeletal and dental
changes are produced by headgear. With headgear and fixed appliances, part of the …

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this pilot randomized clinical trial was to investigate the
relative effectiveness of anchorage conservation of en-masse and 2-step retraction …

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of varying the force direction on maxillary
protraction. A total of 20 patients with class III maxillary retrognathism were randomly divided …

The deformational effects on the human skull resulting from maxillary protraction were
examined by means of strain gauges and displacement transducers. A maxillary protraction …
