Research Abstract |
in this study we compared the posttreatment stability of occlusion in adults and adolescents treated for crowding or maxillary protrusion with four-premolar extractions and edgewise mechanics at an average of more than 4 years out of treatment. The adolescent sample showed a significantly greater posttreatment increase in mandibular anterior crowding than the adult sample. Posttreatment overjet and overbite remained more stable in the adolescents. We noted a correlation between in-treatment expansion and posttretment narrowing of mandibular intercanine width in the adults. Differences in postorthodontic occlusal changes were noted between the adult and adolescent samples.
