The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes of skeletal and dental structures in mild to moderate skeletal Class III children following the use of a new magnetic orthopedic appliance (MOA-III).
A total of 36 patients (14 boys and 22 girls, mean age 9 years and 5 months) who presented with a mild to moderate skeletal Class III jaw discrepancy were treated with MOA-III. Another group of 20 untreated patients (9 boys and 11 girls, mean age 9 years and 2 months) with the same level of deformity served as the control group. The average treatment time was 6.6 months. Radiographs were taken at the same time intervals for both groups. A paired t test was used to determine the significant differences before and after treatment, and a two-sample t test was used to analyze the differences between the treatment and control groups.
The anterior crossbite in all subjects was corrected after MOA-III therapy. The maxillomandibular relationship showed favorable changes (ANB, Wits, overjet increased significantly, P < 0.001). The maxilla was anteriorly positioned (SNA, ptm-A, ptm-S increased significantly, P < 0.001) with clockwise rotation (PP-FH increased, P < 0.001). The mandible showed a slight downward and backward rotation (SNB decreased, P < 0.05, MP-SN, Y-axis increased, P < 0.05). The length of the mandibular body showed no significant changes (Go-Pg, P > 0.05). Significant upper incisor proclination and lower incisor retroclination were observed (UI-NA increased, P < 0.001, LI-NB, FMIA decreased, P < 0.001). The upper lip moved forward, and the lower lip moved backward (UL-EP increased, P < 0.001, LL-EP decreased, P < 0.05). In the control group, most of the parameters showed normal growth, except for some unfavorable mandibular skeletal and soft tissue changes (Go-Pg, Go-Co, MP-SN, N'-SN-Pg' increased, P < 0.001). Significant positive changes were induced with the MOA-III appliance compared to the untreated group.
The MOA-III was effective for the early treatment of a mild to moderate Class III malocclusion in children.
本研究的目的是评估使用新型磁力矫治器(MOA-III)后,轻度至中度骨性III类错颌儿童骨骼和牙齿结构的变化。
共有36例患者(14名男孩和22名女孩,平均年龄9岁5个月)表现为轻度至中度骨性III类颌骨畸形,接受了MOA-III治疗。另一组20例未经治疗的患者(9名男孩和11名女孩,平均年龄9岁2个月),具有相同程度的畸形,作为对照组。平均治疗时间为6.6个月。两组在相同时间间隔拍摄X线片。采用配对t检验确定治疗前后的显著差异,采用两样本t检验分析治疗组与对照组之间的差异。
MOA-III治疗后,所有受试者的前牙反颌均得到矫正。上颌骨与下颌骨的关系显示出有利变化(ANB、Wits值、覆盖显著增加,P<0.001)。上颌骨向前移位(SNA、ptm-A、ptm-S显著增加,P<0.001)并顺时针旋转(PP-FH增加,P<0.001)。下颌骨显示出轻微的向下和向后旋转(SNB减小,P<0.05,MP-SN、Y轴增加,P<0.05)。下颌体长无显著变化(Go-Pg,P>0.05)。观察到明显的上切牙前倾和下切牙后倾(UI-NA增加,P<0.001,LI-NB、FMIA减小,P<0.001)。上唇向前移动,下唇向后移动(UL-EP增加,P<0.001,LL-EP减小,P<0.05)。在对照组中,除了一些不利的下颌骨骼和软组织变化(Go-Pg、Go-Co、MP-SN、N'-SN-Pg'增加,P<0.001)外,大多数参数显示正常生长。与未治疗组相比,MOA-III矫治器引起了显著的积极变化。
MOA-III对儿童轻度至中度III类错颌的早期治疗有效。
