Mechanobehavior and mandibular growth in children with Class II skeletal malocclusions
Key Points
The research investigates the relationship between mechanobehavior and mandibular growth following Herbst appliance therapy in children with Class II skeletal malocclusions.
Correlational analysis of mechanobehavior and age
Measurement of ramus and mandible lengths post-treatment
Use of Herbst appliance in therapy
Significant correlation between mechanobehavior and ramus length changes
Mandibular growth changes noted after appliance therapy
Abstract
Initial mechanobehavior and age were significantly correlated with changes in lengths of the ramus and the mandible after Herbst appliance therapy.
