Overbite and overjet correction in a Class II, division 1 sample treated with Edgewise therapy. 1989

M Hellekant, and L Lagerström, and A Gleerup

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of overjet and overbite correction in non-extraction and extraction therapy in a sample of Class II malocclusions treated with the Edgewise appliance. The subjects were 20 children treated without extraction and 20 children treated with extraction of the four first premolars. During the post-treatment period a relapse of overjet and overbite occurred in both groups. However, there was a beneficial net effect of overjet and overbite correction in both groups with no significant difference between the two groups. The study showed that mandibular intercanine width, space conditions in the lower jaw and mandibular incisor position were important factors in treatment planning.
