Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate whether clear aligner therapy (CAT) combined with a surgery-early approach can achieve good therapeutic effects in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion.
Methods: Thirty consecutive skeletal class III malocclusion cases treated with clear aligners combined with early surgery were selected. Treatment time, lateral cephalograms and American Board of Orthodontics Objective Grading System (ABO-OGS) scores of the treatment models were measured to evaluate the treatment efficiency, facial profile, and occlusion.
Results: The results showed that early surgery was achieved after 7.71 months of presurgical orthodontics, on average. ANB decreased by 5.57° (P < 0.001), and STissue N Vert to Pog' decreased by 7.29 mm (P = 0.001), both reaching normal values. The posttreatment ABO-OGS scores were 26.600 on average, meeting its standards.
Conclusions: With the assistance of CAT, early surgery can be accomplished in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion, improving their facial profile and achieving functional occlusion.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics provides orthodontists and dentists who are also actively interested in orthodontics, whether in university clinics or private practice, with highly authoritative and up-to-date information based on experimental and clinical research. The journal is one of the leading publications for the promulgation of the results of original work both in the areas of scientific and clinical orthodontics and related areas. All articles undergo peer review before publication. The German Society of Orthodontics (DGKFO) also publishes in the journal important communications, statements and announcements.
