The effects of orthodontic treatment on isometric bite forces and mandibular motion in patients before orthognathic surgery

Does Orthodontics Extractions Negatively Affect the Occlusal Bite Force of an Individual - A Quasi-Experimental Study

“…23 This is in accordance with the observation of Sonnesen et al 7 that muscle activity levels and bite force magnitude is strongly associated with occlusal support. The results of current study confirmed those of Thomas et al 27 and Alomari and Alhaija 23 who also reported a reduction in OBF during initial stages of orthodontic treatment. Godreich et al 10 also observed that adjustments in orthodontic appliance tend to decrease the muscular activity.…”

“…This study showed that presurgical procedure causes malalignment because of incisor decompensation, hence, the resultant reduction in OBF. 27 When evaluating the mean OBF difference between the extraction and non-extraction groups, the subjects with premolar extractions had initially a greater drop in the maximum bite force values but the overall change was statistically insignificant. 28 It is suggestive that in the extraction cases premolar are the main pillars of occlusion, which are extracted that provide solid contact points for maximum biting force and functional occlusion.…”

Assessment of Maximum Voluntary Bite Force in Adults with Normal Occlusion and Different Types of Malocclusions

“…In group A, males had a higher value than females. This coincides with results of Bakke et al, 15 Throckmorton et al, 19 Osborne et al 20 MVBF in females was lower than in males because of the less muscular power. A more posteriorly positioned transducer yields a greater bite force.…”

Bite force evaluation in subjects with cleft lip and palate

“…This parameter is correlated with craniofacial morphology 9 , 11 , 23 , 24 , gender 18 , age 7 , temporomandibular disorders (TMD) 6 , 8 , 14 , 16 and also with status, number and tooth mobility 10 . The same relationship is found in patients submitted to orthodontic treatment 19 , 20 , 25 , orthognathic surgery 15 , 21 etc. However, there is no information on the bite force in patients with cleft lip and palate, a valid resource for evaluation of the neuromuscular function in these subjects.…”
