“…This change occurred after distractor removal and closure of the posterior open bite that as created during the distraction period using guiding elastics. Most reports showed clockwise rotation of the maxilla [11,20] however, one study showed counter clockwise rotation of the maxilla after distraction [21].…”

Purpose: To evaluate the skeletal changes associated with maxillary advancement using the external rigid distractor in cleft lip and palate patients after distraction and to assess the stability of these changes. Patients and Methods: Eight cleft lip and palate patients with maxillary hypoplasia underwent maxillary distraction osteogenesis using external rigid devise. Lateral cephalometric records were obtained before distraction T1 and after completing active distraction T2. After a three month follow up period a final lateral cephalometric record was evaluated T3. Results: The maxilla was significantly advanced as indicated by the increase in maxillary depth angle and effective maxillary length (median difference, 10 mm). The palatal plane angle showed a significant increase (median difference, 5˚), showing clockwise rotation. At T3 there was a slight decrease in maxillary depth angle (median difference, 3˚). Effective maxillary length decreased significantly at T3 (median difference, 2 mm). The palatal plane angle decreased (median difference, 3˚) and almost returned to its original position, showing a counterclockwise rotation. Conclusion: Maxillary advancement using external rigid distractor resulted in clockwise rotation of maxilla with increase in palatal plane angle and slight increase in mandibular plane angle. The amount of maxillary advancement was slightly reduced during follow up and the palatal plane almost returned to its original position. These changes showed good stable clinical results.

“…The relapse was reported to be 22% after 3 years. [55] Internal distractors cause less psychosocial problems for the patient and are less likely to be loosened or displaced during the distraction period or following traumatic forces. Moreover, being more easily tolerated by patients, an internal device can be maintained during the consolidation phase for as long as deemed necessary for prevention of relapse.…”
