Fixed Functional Appliance Systems in Orthodontics
… mandible in a sagittal and vertical plane using functional appliances, dentoalveolar and skeletal changes occur. Fixed functional appliances are able to correct skeletal abnormalities for growing patients or patients who have passed the maximum pubertal growth. Fixed functional appliances are …

Treatment Effects of the Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance (MARA) and Conventional Orthodontic Mechanics on Temporomandibular Joint Morphology: A Comparison Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
… and growth seen in Class II patients using functional appliance therapy. Some clinicians and researchers have found that that the use of functional appliances increases the amount of condylar growth and subsequent Class II skeletal correction; others believe that the mandible has a preset …

Analysis of the Relationship Between Growth Hormone Receptor Polymorphism rs6180 and Craniofacial Morphological Changes Associated with Herbst Appliance Therapy
… parameters in patients who have received Herbst appliance therapy as part of orthodontic treatment. An initial lateral cephalometric radiograph was taken along with two buccal cheek swabs. The cells obtained have undergone DNA isolation with the Puregene method in microcentrifuge tubes (Gentra …

Dentoskeletal and soft tissue treatment effects of two different methods for treating Class II malocclusions.
… II malocclusions can not only cause esthetic and functional problems but can also lead to psychological problems of varying intensity depending on the amount of anterior-posterior discrepancy and its interaction with the related soft tissue structures. Although there are several methods of …

Use of CVM Stages in Assessment of Young Orthodontic Patients to Estimate Growth Potential
… practice office treated with a combination of a functional appliance (Bionator, Frankel or MARA) and full Edgewise appliances. This sample was compared to a conventionally treated edgewise sample of 183 Class II division 1 patients from the University of Tennessee Department of Orthodontics. The …

Cephalometric Evaluation of Bionator Therapy in the Early Treatment of Class II Malocclusions
… phase 1 (early) treatment with a Bionator appliance and later treatment with full appliances (all treated by a single clinician). The comparison group consisted subjects treated in a single phase with fixed Edgewise appliances only. Importantly, subjects in the two samples were matched, on …

Cephalometric Evaluation of One-Phase and Two-Phase Treatment Alternatives in Matched Class Ii Subjects
… who received “early” treatment with a Fränkel II appliance followed by treatment with full fixed appliance. These subjects were “matched” by sex and cephalometric value, to a subject treated with standard edgewise appliances in a single phase. Matching criteria focused on the bony facial …

Evaluation of the Treatment Effects of the Functional Regulator of Fränkel in the Correction of Angle Class II Malocclusions
… mandible, rather than a protrusive maxilla. Functional appliances are designed to alter the soft tissue environment of the oral facial capsule creating an environment that allows for optimal growth and development of the teeth, bones, and soft tissue. The functional regulator of Frankel (FR) …
