Abstract:
The effect of the Michigan splint was evaluated graphically in a group of 19 patients. Gothic arch tracings were registered before and after a period of therapy of 4 months, and the two tracings were compared photographically. The position of the apex of the Gothic arch was displaced in most patients, while the shape of the arch was more regular in almost all patients. The validity of the use of the Michigan splint was confirmed.
