Comparison of Soft Tissue Changes Between Two Class II Malocclusion Treatment Protocols: with and without Extractions Associated to Intermaxillary Elastics
Abstract:The literature is scarce on the intermaxillary elastics impacts on soft tissue during the treatment of Class II malocclusion The purpose of the present study was to compare the soft tissue changes after the treatment of Class II malocclusion using intermaxillary elastics with and without the premolars extraction. The sample consisted of 41 patients Class II Division 1 malocclusion with bilateral molar relationship of at least ½ cusp, divided into two groups. Group 1: 21 patients (mean age 18.97 years) treated … Show more
