Stability of Class II Malocclusion Treatment with the Austro Repositioner Followed by Fixed Appliances in Brachyfacial Patients
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Samples
- -
- Experimental group: 30 consecutively treated patients, selected from a private practice and treated by the same orthodontist (M.D.A.-M.). The sample was composed of 16 boys and 14 girls, with a mean age of 11.9 (at T1), 14.3 (at T2), and 15.7 (at T3).
- -
- Control group: 30 untreated patients selected from the online Craniofacial Growth Legacy Collection (http://www.aaoflegacycollection.org, accessed on 20 February 2015), which consists of several well-known growth studies such as the Burlington and Michigan growth studies. The sample was composed of 17 boys and 13 girls, with a mean age of 11.7 (at T1), 14.3 (at T2), and 15.6 (at T3).
