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.
