Summary

Chincap therapy for anterior crossbites in children showed skeletal improvements during treatment. However, these beneficial changes tended to reverse after therapy completion, indicating potential relapse in skeletal Class I and III cases.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Craniofacial Development

Background:

  • Anterior crossbite is a common malocclusion in children.
  • Chincap therapy is frequently used to correct skeletal discrepancies.
  • Understanding long-term skeletal stability after chincap therapy is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate skeletal modifications during and after chincap therapy.
  • To assess the stability of treatment outcomes for anterior crossbites.
  • To analyze cephalometric changes in patients with skeletal Class I and III malocclusions.

Main Methods:

  • Cephalometric analysis of 27 patients (mean age 9 years 3 months) with anterior crossbite.
  • 15 patients had skeletal Class III, 12 had skeletal Class I malocclusions.
  • Chincap therapy applied with 600g force for a mean of 12 months.

Main Results:

  • Skeletal changes were observed during chincap treatment.
  • A tendency for relapse towards the original skeletal pattern was noted post-treatment.
  • Treatment success was defined by achieving normal overjet and overbite.

Conclusions:

  • Chincap therapy can induce skeletal changes in patients with anterior crossbites.
  • Skeletal stability after chincap therapy appears limited, with a tendency for relapse.
  • Further research into long-term retention strategies may be warranted.
