[Effect of Begg technique therapy in cases with excess overbite]
Summary
The Begg technique effectively reduced excess overbite in adults, primarily through dentoalveolar changes. This orthodontic approach offers a viable solution for correcting deep bite issues post-growth.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Dental Morphology
Context:
- Excessive overbite is a common malocclusion.
- Treatment efficacy in adults requires specific investigation.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the dentoskeletal effects of Begg technique therapy for excess overbite in post-growth individuals.
Summary:
- This study analyzed cephalometric changes in 10 adults treated with the Begg technique for excess overbite.
- Measurements focused on 20 cephalometric parameters.
- Results indicated that dentoalveolar factors were primarily responsible for overbite reduction.
Impact:
- Provides insight into the biomechanical effects of the Begg technique in adults.
- Highlights the role of dentoalveolar adjustments in correcting deep bite malocclusions.
