Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this project was to establish the effective treatment program for orthognathic patients with skeletal maxillo-mandibular deviation to predict and reduce the jaw deformities in adolescence period. The results showed that jaw deviation was probably caused by imbalanced stress distribution on the maxilla and mandible. Especially, the presence of occlusal cant seemed to play a main role in an increase of jaw deviation. To prevent exacerbation of jaw deviation, the early correction of vertical problems on molar region will be effective in pre-adolescence patients.
