[Investigation of the vertical variations in the anterior region of Class II, division 1 malocclusions treated with different techniques]

Abstract

In this study, vertical differences in the anterior region of Class II, division 1 patients treated with different techniques has been investigated. Sixteen (16) extraction cases treated with fixed appliances, twelve (12) treated with activator and twenty (20) cases for control group were examined. The age differed between 10 to 13 No sex difference was made. Tracings were made on 96 before and after treatment cephalometric radiographs and linear dimensions were measured by using Coben Coordinate Analysis. The findings were evaluated by statistical methods. As a result, it was found that there was no difference between two techniques in treatment.
