Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of functional orthopedic therapy in growing patients whose facial profiles can be esthetically improved by moving the mandible forward.
Materials and methods
We conducted a controlled longitudinal cohort study of children with receding chins, normodivergent cephalometric profiles, and class II molar relations with an overjet of >5 mm. Ten of the patients (five boys with a mean age of 11.5 years [SD±1.5] and five females with a mean age of 10.5 years [SD±1.5]) were treated with bite jumping and ten served as age- and sex-matched controls. Results were evaluated in terms of esthetic parameters and changes in 11 cephalometric angle measurements. Statistical analysis was based on Student's t test; p values <0.05 were considered significant.
Results and Conclusions
The treated patients present clear esthetic improvement in the facial profile with statistically significant changes in dental, alveolar, and maxillary protrusion, but no significant effects on the mandible.
