Eighty-four seventh graders of both sexes, not undergoing orthodontic treatment, participated in a double-blind study to determine the effect on the anterior teeth of playing a musical wind instrument. The instrument players were just beginning their studies. Seventh graders not playing a musical wind instrument served as the control group. Impressions and plaster casts were made of each mouth at the beginning and conclusion of the study. The plaster casts were marked with the same numerical code assigned to each student. Overjet and overbite measurements of the anterior teeth were taken from the plaster casts and recorded. Findings indicate that, on an individual basis, the effect on the anterior teeth of playing a musical wind instrument is unpredictable. Only on a group basis can a class of musical wind instruments be theorized to have a certain effect on the anterior teeth. The playing of a musical wind instrument should not be used as a substitute for orthodontic treatment.
84名未接受正畸治疗的七年级男女学生参与了一项双盲研究，以确定吹奏管乐器对前牙的影响。乐器演奏者刚开始学习吹奏。不吹奏管乐器的七年级学生作为对照组。在研究开始和结束时，对每个学生的口腔进行取模并制作石膏模型。石膏模型用分配给每个学生的相同数字代码进行标记。从石膏模型上获取并记录前牙的覆盖和覆合测量数据。研究结果表明，就个体而言，吹奏管乐器对前牙的影响是不可预测的。只有从群体角度才能推测出某一类管乐器对前牙有一定影响。吹奏管乐器不应被用作正畸治疗的替代方法。
