The effect of the Michigan splint was evaluated graphically in a group of 19 patients. Gothic arch tracings were registered before and after a period of therapy of 4 months, and the two tracings were compared photographically. The position of the apex of the Gothic arch was displaced in most patients, while the shape of the arch was more regular in almost all patients. The validity of the use of the Michigan splint was confirmed.
对一组19名患者以图表形式评估了密歇根矫治器的效果。在4个月的治疗期前后记录哥特弓描记图,并对两张描记图进行摄影比较。大多数患者哥特弓顶点的位置发生了移位,而几乎所有患者弓的形状都更规则了。密歇根矫治器使用的有效性得到了证实。
