The purpose of this study was to evaluate the esthetic changes
following functional and camouflage treatment in Class II Division 1
malocclusion patients.
Methods: cephalograms of 35 patients had Class II Division 1were selected.
Those in group 1
(n=15) were treated with functional appliance, and those in
group 2 (n= 20) were treated with fixed orthodontic appliance after
premolar extractions. 35 cephalometric variables were selected to evaluate
the esthetic changes following the orthodontic treatment.
Dependent t tests were used to compare the cephalometric variables at the
posttreatment stage and the cephalometric variables at the pretreatment
stage in each group, and Independent t tests were used to compare the
changes in cephalometric variables caused by the orthodontic treatment
between the groups.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes of
airway dimensions following functional and camouflage treatment in Class
II Division 1 malocclusion.
