ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate effects of traction arch combined with protraction on dental and skeletal changes in patients with Angel Ⅲ malocclusion in mixed dentition.Methods:
Seventeen patients with Angle Ⅲ malocclusion were selected and treated with traction arch combined with protraction. Cephalometric radiographs were taken 6 months before the initiation of treatment, at the initiation of treatment and 6 months after treatment.Cephalometric analysis was used to examine the dental and skeletal changes.Results:
Significant changes of maxillary anterior displacement and mandibular downward and backward rotation were observed in the seventeen patientsSNA increased 2.6?,A point moved forward 3.1 mm. The overjet correction of anterior teeth was 5.2 mm, 63% of the overjet correction was due to skeletal changes and 37% due to dental changes.Conclusion:
Traction arch combined with protraction is a simple and effective apparatus in the treatment of Angle Ⅲ malocclusion.
