ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate changes in craniomaxillofacial soft and hard tissues following orthodontic treatment by MBT edgewise technique with fix appliance in patients with Angle classⅡdivisionⅠmalocclusion. Methods Fifty patients with Angle classⅡdivisionⅠmalocclusion were selected in this study. All patients were treated with MBT edgewise technique. Cephalometrics tracings were performed before treatment and after treatment. Cephalometrics measurements were statistically analysed by t-test. Results After the orthodontic treatment, the main changes were the reduction of maxillary and mandibular prominence and the increasement of the Pg′B′-FH and Pog-Pog′and upper-lower prominence as well. The appearance of uncovered teeth by their lips was obviously improved. The changes of soft issue profile are the increment of nasolabial angle and the changes among UL-U1, LL-L1 and the E-line. Conclusion Patients with Angle classⅡdivisionⅠmalocclusion have normal overjet and overbite, and also have a better appearance of soft tissue after the extraction treatment.
