Quantification of Skeletal and Dental Changes Associated with the Forsus (trademark) Appliance: A Comparison of Treatment Effects Observed During and Following Peak Growth Velocity
Abstract:Intro: The goal of this thesis was to compare the skeletal and dental effects of the Forsus™ appliance observed on patients during peak growth versus post peak growth. The hypothesis was established that patients undergoing Class II treatment with a Forsus™ appliance during peak growth velocity would experience a larger degree of skeletal change than that observed in patients undergoing treatment with the same appliance, who have completed peak growth. Methods: A sample of 54 Class II patients who were consecu… Show more
