Soft-tissue Profile Changes Produced by Treatment of Class II- Malocclusion Using Skeletal Anchorage Miniplates “A Prospective Comparative study”


Abstract in English

Orthodontic treatment is considered successful only if optimal esthetic and function are achieved.The objective of this study was to compare facial soft tissue profile changes produced by a new technique (elastic forces based on skeletal anchorage mini-plates) with changes produced by conventional class-II elastic forces.
