The long-term stability of dentition in skeletal class III malocclusion following orthodontic-orthognathic surgery
1Department of Orthodontics, Peking University School of Stomatology, Beijing 100081, China.
Objective:
To Investigate the changes in dentition at each treatment stage and to get some guidelines for clinical work.
Methods:
Thirty-one cephalometric films of skeletal class III malocclusion patients were analyzed. All the patients were treated by orthodontic and orthognathic surgery.
Results:
During presurgical orthodontic treatment, the lower Incisors were decompensated (labially Proclined by 7 degrees ). The upper incisors were uprighted during surgery following rotation of maxilla. After surgery, the upper anterior teeth kept tipping for ward. While the lower anterior teeth were In stable. The dentition was in good occlusion during observing stage.
Conclusions:
Lingually tipped lower Incisors were decompensated after presurgical orthodontic treatment in class III malocclusion patients, and lower Incisors kept in stable during observing stage, while the upper incisor had a little bit relapse.
