Long-term stability of dental relationships after orthodontic treatment
Abstract
Adult changes in selected occlusal parameters are measured, with the study sample limited to 72 subjects with a history of malocclusion treated orthodontically 12 to 35 years previously. Variations were large. Most of the corrections were retained, with mean changes tending toward pretreatment values.
