“…Studies comparing treated patients with an untreated control group have shown RPE/FM therapy to be effective, especially when used at an early age (Cordasco et al, 2014;Kiliçoglu & Kirliç, 1998;Mandall et al, 2010;Nevzatoğlu & Küçükkeleş, 2014). Additionally, RPE/FM therapy has also been reported to reduce the need of subsequent surgical treatment (Mandall et al, 2016). However, counterclockwise maxillary rotation and clockwise mandibular rotation, which can be unfavorable for patients presenting clockwise vertical growth pattern, have been associated to RPE/FM treatment (Cordasco et al, 2014;Jamilian, Cannavale, Piancino, Eslami, & Perillo, 2016;Kiliçoglu & Kirliç, 1998;Nevzatoğlu & Küçükkeleş, 2014).…”
