Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effects of two orthodontic appliances, Activator and Bionator, on children with Class II malocclusion during two-phase treatment.
- 89 patients aged around 10 years were analyzed for skeletal and dentoalveolar changes using lateral cephalograms and linear regression.
- Results indicated that the Bionator had less impact on certain angles compared to the Activator, but ultimately both appliances produced similar overall effects, with Bionator leading to more vertical growth.
Objectives: Adults with fixed orthodontic appliances are increasing nowadays. Compared with adolescents, adults present biological differences that might influence treatment duration. Therefore, the aim of the study was to compare duration of treatment with fixed appliances between adults and adolescents.
