Morphologic changes in the sagittal dimension using the Fränkel appliance

A H Owen

    American Journal of Orthodontics
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Fränkel appliance offers significant potential for interceptive orthodontic treatment, correcting Class II, Division I malocclusions through functional jaw orthopedics. This appliance facilitates condylar growth, maxillary retraction, and lateral expansion for improved facial aesthetics.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics
    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Craniofacial Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Interceptive orthodontic treatment aims to correct developing malocclusions.
    • Functional jaw orthopedics utilizes removable appliances to guide jaw growth.
    • The Fränkel appliance is a type of functional jaw orthopedic device.

    Observation:

    • Four pediatric patients with Class II, Division I malocclusions were treated with the Fränkel appliance.
    • Treatment involved varying degrees of mandibular retrognathia.
    • Facial improvements and lateral expansion were noted in all cases.

    Findings:

    • The Fränkel appliance demonstrated effectiveness in correcting Class II, Division I malocclusions.
    • Observed corrections included condylar growth, maxillary retraction, and dentoalveolar changes.

  • The appliance facilitated lateral expansion, a potential additional benefit.

    • Implications:

    • The Fränkel appliance may leverage three orthopedic correction types: condylar growth, maxillary retraction, and lateral expansion.
    • It offers potential orthopedic and orthodontic benefits for early treatment.
    • The appliance's versatility allows integration into various orthodontic practices.
