Q

Influences on permanent molar transisition

A

Primary molar terminal plane relationship
Primary spacing which may be closed by “early mesial shift” as permanent molars erupt
Leeway space, which allows “late mesial shift”
Mandibular growth and differential growth may affect relative A-P positioning

59
Q

Consequences of premature loss of primary incisors

A

Space loss unlikely if primary canines erupted into occlusion
Replacement of primary incisors is not required to maintain space
-elective for cosmetic issues, may be beneficial for language development

60
Q

Consequences of premature loss of primary canines

A

Usually due to ectopic eruption of permanent laterals
-indicator of significant TSALD
-beyond simple space maintenance - space analysis required
Premature loss sometimes secondary to trauma/caries
-no space maintenance generally indicated except to maintain midline symmetry

61
Q

Consequences of premature loss of first primary molars

A

Space loss considered negligible if first primary molars lost after first permanent molars erupt into occlusion
Space maintenance indicated if first permanent molars not erupted or are in active eruption
-usually unilateral fixed appliances (band/loop)

62
Q

Consequences of premature loss of second primary molars

A

Space loss in either arch most dramatic in association with eruption of first permanent molars
Dimensional space loss greater in maxillary arch
-maxillary 1st permanent molars move forward and rotate around palatal root
-mandibular molars show mesial and lingual crown tipping
If first permanent molar is not erupted or active eruption
-distal shoe, reverse band and loop, removable appliance
If first permanent molar is erupted
-band and loop, bilateral space maintainers

63
Q

Band and loop

A
  • replacement for loss of single tooth
  • can be forward or reverse
  • may need to be replaced on exfoliation of primary canine (especially in mandible)
64
Q

Crown and loop

A

Use is similar to band and loop with loop soldered directly on crown

65
Q

Distal Shoe

A

Used for replacement for loss of primary second molar when permanent molar hasn’t erupted
Narrowest (most specific) indications for use
Most contraindications for use

66
Q

Lower lingual holding arch

A

Replacement for loss of multiple teeth in mandibular arch
May also be used to prevent lingual tipping of incisors following premature loss of canines
May interfere with eruption of permanent incisors if placed prior to eruption

67
Q

Nance appliance

A

Replacement for loss of multiple teeth in maxillary arch

Acrylic button provides resistance to mesial movement, but can accumulate plaque

68
Q

Transpalatal or Goshgarian arch

A

Replacement for loss of multiple teeth in maxillary arch

Considered less efficient than Nance, but can be used to create minor orthodontic tooth movement

69
Q

When is bilateral space maintainer advised?

A

Once first permanent molars are erupted

Important to control molars and allow buccal segment transition due to eruption patterns and potential loss of abutments

70
Q

Removable appliances

A

Acrylic appliances
Replacement for loss of multiple teeth in either arch
May be used instead of distal shoe for replacement of primary second molar

71
Q

Regaining lost posterior space

A

Indicated if it simplifies, minimizes or eliminates subsequent orthodontic treatment

  • maxillary regaining: headgear, fixed molar distalizing appliances, removable appliances
  • mandibular regaining: lip bumper, active lingual arch, removable split-saddle
72
Q

Overview of preventive orthodontic treatment

A

To preserve and maintain normal relationships in developing occlusion through prevention of oral disease, restorative care and space maintenance

approximately 50% of children would benefit from guidance and interceptive procedures beyond “preventive” interventions

73
Q

Overview of limited orthodontic treatment

A

Ortho treatment with a limited objective, not necessarily involving the entire dentition
It may be directed at only existing problem, or only one aspect of a larger problem in which a decision is made to defer or forego more comprehensive therapy (ADA CDT 2016)

74
Q

Overview of interceptive orthodontic treatment

A

Extension of preventive orthodontics that may include localized tooth movement
May occur in primary or transitional dentition
Includes redirection of ectopically erupting teeth, correction of crossbite or recovery of space loss
May reduce severity of malformation when initiated during incipient stages

75
Q

Conditions considered for minor tooth movement procedures within the context of interceptive orthodontic treatment

A

Oral habits
Dental/functional anterior crossbites
Posterior crossbites
Ectopic eruption of permanent first molars
Recognition and correction of dental anomalies
-identification and elimination of anomalies and effects
-supernumerary teeth, missing teeth, tooth size/shape anomalies, ankylosis, pathologic lesions, etc.

76
Q

Space supervision overview

A

Encompasses treatment procedures derived from clinical judgment where clinician determines that a patient’s occlusion will have a better chance of obtaining optimum development with supervised intervention (Moyers)

77
Q

Guidance of eruption (space supervision)

A

Procedures that influence eruptive patterns of permanent teeth
When overall space is adequate to accommodate a normal complement of permanent teeth with acceptable esthetics and functions (Hotz)

78
Q

Goals of space supervision/guidance of eruption

A

Improved esthetics/incisor integrity
Dentitional development without functional problems
Optimal permanent tooth eruption
Avoid unnecessary extraction of permanent teeth
-optimal use of leeway space and arch perimeter

79
Q

Clinical procedures in space supervision

A

Preventive and restorative dentistry
-preserve arch integrity and arch perimeter
Space maintenance
-stabilize molar and anterior tooth positions to prevent loss of arch length
Disking of primary teeth
-reduction of mesiodistal primary tooth structure to enhance adjacent permanent tooth alignment through timely use of leeway space
Selective extraction of primary teeth
-extension of disking concepts in timely removal of primary teeth to enhance permanent tooth eruption and alignment positioning
Minor tooth movements
-biomechanical tooth movements to return or direct developing occlusion to normal
-minimal or simple appliance therapy over short interval

80
Q

Non-nutritive digit sucking habits prevalence

A

Normal at early age
50% of children with NNS habit will discontinue between 24-28 months of age
Incidence rate of 10-15% at age 5

81
Q

Do digital habits or pacifier habits last longer?

A

Digital

Both produce similar effects if persist past 4 years of age

82
Q

Consequences of NNS

A 
Anterior openbite 
Distorted incisor eruption
Increased overjet
Proclined upper incisors
Linguoversion of lower incisors
Posterior crossbite with constricted maxilla
Possible class II relation
83
Q

When should you consider intervention to NNS?

A

Prior to eruption of permanent anterior teeth approximating age 5 to 6 years if NNS habit persists and patient-parent indicate understanding of need to stop

  • use “gentle persuasion” as beginning treatment; behavior modification can be successful
  • cribs, rakes, “bluegrass appliance” are choices for fixed therapy to “help” child quit
84
Q

Anterior Crossbites in Primary Dentition

A

Must distinguish between true class III versus pseudo-class III

85
Q

Pseudo-Class III (primary)

A

Incisal and canine interference produces anterior shift of mandible on closure
Treatment directed at advancement of maxillary incisor segment to eliminate interference
Fixed or removable maxillary appliances with finger or sweep springs to advance incisors
Treatment most frequently considered limited

86
Q

True Class III (primary)

A

Presents classic skeletal and dental patterns with retruded maxilla, prognathic mandible, “adult” concave profile, retroclined lower incisors
Treatment directed at dentofacial orthopedic changes to correct skeletal malocclusion
-reverse pull headgear/facemask to encourage maxillary growth
-chincup to discourage mandibular growth
-treatment most frequently considered interceptive with expectation of future comprehensive treatment
*both true and pseudo-class III may require concurrent maxillary expansion

87
Q

Functional posterior crossbite in primary dentition

A

> 90% of primary dentition posterior crossbites express functional shift
Origin usually bilateral maxillary constriction
-decreased maxillary intercanine width with vertically oriented primary canine interferences
-first contact position with coincident midlines exhibits typical transverse end-on buccal segment cusp-to-cusp occlusion
-shift of mandible on closure results in appearance of unilateral crossbite
-crossbite involves entire buccal segment >90% CDE, 2/3 include lateral incisor
Asymmetric midline/chin position associated with asymmetric growth pattern

88
Q

Basic treatment of posterior crossbite in primary dentition

A

Fixed rapid palatal expanders (RPE of Haas, Hyrax) - over 90% success
Fixed archwire expanders using “slow, low-force” approach (w-arch, quad helix) over 90% success
Removable Schwartz plate - type appliances - 70% success

89
Q

Bilateral posterior crossbite in primary dentition

A

True maxillary skeletal constriction with bilateral buccal segment crossbite, midline symmetry and no notable shift of mandible
2-3% of posterior crossbites in children
Often associated with dolichofacial skeletal vertical growth, openbite malocclusion, compromised airways, mouthbreathing
Basic treatment is maxillary expansion
-long term management generally requires multi-phased comprehensive approach

90
Q

Ectopic eruption of first permanent molars

A

Incidence 2-3% in maxillary arch, rare in lower
Self-correction 2/3 of cases
Consequence: if not corrected by age 7, can see supereruption of mandibular molar

91
Q

Treatment of ectopic eruption

A

Observation - 2/3 correct
Rare for self-correction after age 7
Once mandibular molar is level with occlusal plane, treatment is indicated
Brass ligature wire, elastic separators, careful disking of second primary molar distal ledge
Humphrey appliance: fixed palatal archwire from E’s with distalization spring to first molar
Halterman appliance: fixed palatal archwire from E’s with distalization elastics to bonded button

92
Q

Mandibular incisor crowding

A

Considered normal
Average crowding is -1.6 +/- 1.0mm after incisor eruption complete
After lateral incisor eruption, what you see is what you get
If crowding is excessive (beyond 2-3mm), plan long-term arch development approach versus serial extraction
If crowding can be accommodated by controlled use of leeway space, intervene

93
Q

Considerations for use of leeway space

A

Periodontium - thin labial gingiva or mucogingival defect
Profile and incisor position - incisors most stable where “naturally” found
Vertical relationships - extractions deepen bite, non-extractions open bite
Premature exfoliation of primary teeth

94
Q

Interventions for relieving incisor crowding - disking of primary canines

A
  • can allow 1-2mm of space per side (must go subgingival)
  • indicated with less than 3-4mm of incisor crowding
  • indicated when laterals erupting to alignment with eruptive width changes complete
  • indicated when primary canine roots are intact
  • preferred option, especially in deepbite patterns to maintain vetical support
95
Q

Interventions for relieving incisor crowding - extraction of primary canines

A
  • to enhance arch symmetry, coincident midlines and incisor integrity when incisor liability is greater than 4mm
  • recommended with asymmetric ectopic loss of primary canine producing a midline shift (extract contralateral canine)
  • frequently step 1 of serial extraction program especially in dolichofacial openbite
  • strongly recommended to place LLHA as extraction of primary canines reduces arch perimeter and can lead to lingual collapse of incisors, deep bite, increased overjet
96
Q

Interventions for relieving incisor crowding - edgewise appliance

A

-use of Edgewise 2X4 appliance to position incisors and molars toward favorable class I relationships with incisor integrity, midline coincidence and normal overbite and overjet

97
Q

To extract or not to extract? (serial extractions)

A

Facial type is a critical factor in decision

  • Brachyfacial/deepbite: prioritize arch development/expansion
  • Dolichofacial/openbite: extraction protocol more likely
98
Q

Lower lingual holding arch benefits

A

“Late” supervision of leeway space - use of LLHA with selective extraction of primary molars reserves the “E-space” and controls late mesial shift

  • timely placement of LLHA allows distal eruptive positioning of premolars and canines (1.5mm distal placement) and provides 2-4mm of space for relief of incisor crowding
  • applicable in 2/3 - 3/4 of children with normal crowding patterns
  • initiation of edgewise therapy to position incisors and molars toward class I relationships while controlling leeway space also applicable in timing with loss of second primary molars
99
Q

Ankylosed teeth - most common tooth?

A

Lower first primary molars

Followed by upper first primary, lower second primary, and upper second primary

100
Q

Does resorption of ankylosed teeth occur?

A

Resorption of ankylosed molars usually proceeds in normal mode with 95% of premolars erupting into proper occlusion with normal periodontal health and alveolar bone height
Most common sequela is simply delayed transition as to timing

101
Q

Sequela of ankylosed teeth

A

Static retention of ankylosed tooth often results in clinical “submersion” and supreeruption of opposing tooth
Can result in tipping of adjacent teeth with accompanying space loss
Second primary molars are of much greater significance to arch integrity than first primary molars - especially when ankylosis occurs before eruption of permanent molars

102
Q

Management/intervention of ankylosed teeth

A

May monitor early on, as tooth often shows normal exfoliation
Mesiodistal width and occlusal relationships may be maintained with composite build-ups, stainless steel crowns
Eventual treatment may involve extraction later if exfoliation is delayed or deflected eruption of permanent successor occurs
May need space maintenance if indicated unless sufficient crowding to justify serial extraction plan

103
Q

Supernumerary teeth Incidence

A

Reported in up to 3.6% of children
Occur 10x more in maxilla
Occurs in boys 2x more than girls
Mesiodens: 80% single, 20% two or more
-most palatally positioned (90%)
-75% need surgical extraction as they remain impacted
Can be responsible for delayed eruption of permanent teeth, over-retention of primary teeth, displaced teeth, diastemas, abnormal root resorption, dentigerous cysts, malocclusion

104
Q

Supernumerary Teeth - Treatment

A

Remove when no harm will come to permanent teeth
-prefer to wait until 1/2 to 2/3 of root development of adjacent permanent teeth
-patient age and potential for cooperation also factors in delaying surgical intervention
-watchful waiting allows time for possible eruption of supernumerary, avoidance of surgical exposure
When removed, exposure of permanent teeth with provision of eruption channel recommended
-up to 80% of permanent teeth spontaneously erupt after removal of supernumerary
-ortho treatment often necessary to make room and position properly

105
Q

Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment - definition

A

“Includes a coordinated diagnosis and treatment leading to the improvement of a patient’s craniofacial dysfunction and/or dentofacial deformity which may include anatomical, functional and/or esthetic relationships. Treatment may utilize fixed and/or removable orthodontic appliances and may also include functional and/or orthopedic appliances in growing and non-growing patients. Adjunctive procedures to facilitate care may be required. Comprehensive orthodontics may incorporate treatment phases focusing on specific objectives at various stages of dentofacial development.” ADA CDT 2016

106
Q

Crowding/Malalignment in Permanent Dentition

A

Depending on amount, space in permanent dentition is gained via protrusive movement of anterior teeth, retrusion of posterior teeth, arch expansion or tooth mass reduction (extraction or IPR)

107
Q

Maxillary Canine Eruptive Displacement Incidence

A

Usually palatal displacement in 1-2% of population
Females affected 3 times more than males
More common is mesiolabial displacements secondary to segmental crowding - up to 10% of children
-labial and palatal malpositioning associated with atypical resorption of permanent incisors
-ectopic eruption or impaction may be associated with constricted maxillary intercanine width, agenesis or microdontia of lateral incisor, and arch length deficiency

108
Q

Early recognition of maxillary canine eruptive displacement

A

Approximating 10-12 years, palpation and radiographic evaluation with periapical or panoramic images
Clinical signs: lateral incisor distal inclinations pronounced, small maxillary lateral, primary canines not mobile, eruptive bulging of canines atypical

109
Q

Treatment intervention of maxillary canine eruptive displacement

A

Interceptive: excessive canine mesial orientation may be redirected to more distal and vertical eruption path through removal of primary canine when permanent canine has 2/3 root development
-if the displaced permanent canine overlap of adjacent lateral incisor is not beyond the midline long axis, chances for canine normal repositioning after primary canine extraction is 85-90%
-if overlap is beyond lateral long axis, successful repositioning in 60%
Comprehensive: edgewise appliances to ensure space for positioning and establish anchorage for ortho eruption: uncover canine, engage with attachments

110
Q

Congenitally missing permanent teeth

A

Most common = lower second bicuspids
-then upper lateral, upper second premolar
Incidence of missing permanent teeth is about 4%, no gender difference
Affects two or more teeth in about half of cases, frequently symmetrical pattern
Consideration: cone-shaped teeth characteristically seen in association with missing teeth

111
Q

Consequences and considerations of congenitally missing teeth

A

Important to consider long-term arch alignment
First decision is whether to keep or extract the primary tooth
Space closure usually desirable for bilateral missing teeth
For single missing teeth, usually try to maintain space until future prosthetic management

112
Q

Treatment options for missing permanent teeth - missing laterals

A

Noncrowded arches, class I/II: Maintain primary lateral and/or manage and open space orthodontically with long-term plan for implants or Maryland bridge

Crowded arches, class II: Enhance movement of permanent canines forward into lateral position with “early” extraction of primary laterals, latera orthodontic alignment for “canine replacement”

113
Q

Treatment options for missing permanent teeth - missing second premolars

A

Noncrowded arches, class I/II: Maintain primary molar and/or manage space with long-term plan for implants

Crowded arches, class III: Enhance movement of permanent first molars forward with “early extraction of primary second molar

Important to keep in mind that case reports exist showing second premolar tooth germ development/calcification not until as late as 10 years of age

114
Q

Overview of dentofacial orthopedics

A

Biomechanical treatment directed at altering the relationships of the jaws and the activity patterns of orofacial muscles to effect changes in facial proportions

115
Q

Rationale of dentofacial orthopedics

A

Objectives of facial and dental esthetics with functional harmony can rarely be achieved without compromise unless basal arch relationships are in orthognathic position with Class I molar and canine relationships, acceptable overbite and overjet, coordinated transverse archforms

116
Q

Significance of dentofacial orthopedics

A

To modify growth, one must treat during active growth periods
More severe discrepancy, earlier the treatment

117
Q

Class II Division 1 (most common features)

A 
Normal maxilla
Notable mandibular retrognathia (85%)
Vertical growth tendency 
Narrowed upper arch 
Good lower arch
Full class II, ANB > 6 degrees
118
Q

Class II Division 2 (most common features)

A 
Normal maxilla
Mild mandibular retrognathia 
Strong chinpoint 
Deepbite growth tendency
Broad archforms 
End-on class II, ANB < 6 degrees
119
Q

Class III (most common features)

A 
Combination of maxillary retrognathia, mandibular prognathia
Negative ANB
Vertical growth patterns
Transverse maxillary deficiency
Retroclined lower incisors
120
Q

Anteroposterior Class II Malocclusion > Protrusive maxilla > directed headgear

A

Promote restraint of maxillary dental and skeletal forward and vertical development
Distalize upper arch and allow normal mandibular growth

121
Q

Cervical Pull Headgear

A

For Anteroposterior class II malocclusion
Optimize molar distalization, redirect vertical development, influence maxillary skeletal growth, decrease overbite
Increases lower face height

122
Q

High Pull Headgear

A 
For anteroposterior class II malocclusion 
Promotes horizontal and bodily dental movement of molars, distalization effects are minimal
Restrains vertical/forward development of molars and downward/forward growth of maxilla 
Minimizes lower face height changes to reduce bite opening
123
Q

Indications for extraoral headgear beyond maxillary protrusion

A

Retraction will not compromise nasolabial profile
Distalization of buccal segments to gain arch length and optimize class I molars
Anchorage support for incisor retraction
Symmetrical AP positioning
Active growth: on upward slope of growth curve
Arch expansion desirable to enhance forward movement of mandible
Cooperation/understanding of patient/family

124
Q

Anteroposterior class II malocclusion > retrusive mandible > funcational appliances

A

Promote mandibular growth by advancing with protrusive bite appliance, restrain maxillary forward growth
Holding mandible forward produces reactive forces on adjacent structures and these reactive forces combine with growth of mandible
-move upper teeth backward, move lower teeth forward, and restrain maxillary skeletal growth

125
Q

Conditions favorable for use of functional appliances

A

Treatment carried out during periods of active growth
Favorable growth pattern (contraindicated in dolichofacial growth because they increase lower face height)
Nasal airway not compromised
Symmetrical dental arches
Cooperation

126
Q

Examples of functional advancement appliances

A 
Bionator/orthopedic corrector
Activator 
Frankel 
Herbst 
Mara
127
Q

Anteroposterior Class II Malocclusion with acceptable AP skeletal relationship

A

Promote corrective changes by restraining/distalizing upper dentition, protracting lower dentition

Class II elastics (requires Edgewise appliance)
Headgear, distal jets, springs
May incorporate selective permanent tooth extractions to camouflage AP discrepancy

Class II Div 2 usually want to avoid extractions (will deepen bite)

128
Q

Anteroposterior Class III malocclusion -> retrusive maxilla - > facemask/reverse pull headgear

A

Protract maxillary complex
Extraoral reverse-pull headgear (facemask) redirects or enhances maxillary growth with forward protraction
Expand maxillary arch to “unlock”occlusion for enhanced maxillary forward movement
May eliminate abnormal muscle function

129
Q

Application of facemask therapy in primary and early mixed dentition

A 
Shown to produce most dramatic results for class III correction in shortest time period 
Treatment concurrent with incisor eruption to optimize growth and occlusal relationships
130
Q

Results from reverse-pull headgear

A

Mesial movement of maxillary molars/incisors (3mm per year)
Shearing effect at sutures to maximize displacement of maxillofacial complex
Increased lower face height
Increases lingual uprighting of lower incisors

131
Q

Anteroposterior Class III Malocclusion - > protrusive mandible -> chincup therapy

A

Restrain mandibular growth
Restraint of true mandibular growth is not documented by long-term studies
Primarily redirect mandibular growth direction more vertically
Usually contraindicated as it worsens dolichofacial growth pattern

132
Q

Transverse Arch Expansion

A 
Basal orthopedic maxillary expansion involving sutural separation achieved before locking of palatal sutures around age 12 
Almost all class III patients require this 
Can benefit about 50% of class II Div I malocclusions
133
Q

Posterior Crossbite In Permanent Dentition

A

Difficulty of creating sutural expansion while minimizing dental tipping and alveolar bone damage (since sutures are fused)
Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion may need to be considered

134
Q

Anterior Openbite with Extraoral Habit

A

Prolonged digit or pacifier sucking habits
Flaring of maxillary incisors/lingual inclination of mandibular incisors -> increased overjet
Anterior openbite
Distortion of maxillary alveolar process

135
Q

Abnormal muscle activity

A

Tongue thrust - almost always occurs in response to openbite
Perioral dysfunction: lip and mentalis habit with tongue thrust and overjet/openbite
Mouth breathing

136
Q

Treatment of Anterior Open Bite

A

Eliminate habit and control tongue thurst
OK to watch before age 4-5, but as incisor transition period approaches, more aggressive intervention needed
Psychological rewards: first choice at 4-6 years of age using reward program for three months
Mechanotherapy: palatal crib appliance
-crib reminds child not to engage in habit and promotes incisor self-alignment
-planned for six months wear; habit usually ceases within weeks
Myofunctional therapy: only if associated speech problems

137
Q

Deep Overbite

A

General treatment strategy to extrude posterior teeth and allow rotation of mandible downward
Combination of maxillary molar extrusion via cervical headgear or orthopedic functional appliances, intrusion of anterior teeth; may require orthognathic surgery
Often associated with Class II Div 2
One of the more difficult orthodontic problems to correct and retain

138
Q

Contemporary Treatment - Clear Aligners

A

Small movements of teeth using vacuum formed plastic aligners
Effective for mild to moderate problems
Best used with other auxiliary ortho appliances
Minimizes plaque accumulation, tissue inflammation and gingival recession
Not good at translational movement
Lag time in initiating therapy longer than brackets due to manufacturing process
Compliance can be an issue in teens
Aligners may cost more for fabrication, but reduced chair time and total expense may be comparable

139
Q

Temporary Skeletal Anchorage Devices (TADS)

A

Miniscrews and miniplates
Miniscrews do not require surgery, miniplates do
Miniscrews are cheaper, less risk
Miniscrews used for immediate loading, miniplates used for patients with severe malocclusions
Both utilized for dental changes in all three planes of space

140
Q

Orthodontic treatment and Sleep Apnea

A

Prevalence of snoring: 3-27%; prevalence of OSA 1-10%
Ortho treatment includes mandibular advancement or maxillary expansion
Ortho treatment may reduce pediatric snoring and OSA
Only small number of studies conducted to date, more data needed

141
Q

Ortho for Patients with SHCN

A

75% of patients with disabilities would benefit
Increased frequency of overjet, posterior crossbite and anterior openbite
Downs: abnormal tongue position, openbite, class III, posterior crossbite
CP: class II malocclusion and diastemas
Autism: increased frequency of missing teeth, spacing, diastema, anterior crossbite, class II, open bite
Parents usually motivated to help in oral hygiene and improve esthetics
53% of orthodontists feel prepared to treat patients with craniofacial anomalies, but only 35% are prepared to treat patients with special needs/dev delays

142
Q

Considerations for Ortho in Patients with SHCN

A

Gag reflex
Uncontrolled movements
Ability to submit to prolonged dental procedures (ability to sit still)
Drooling
Need for procedures under general anesthesia
Contraindication: poorly controlled seizure disorder

Need to have realistic treatment goals adapted to patient’s needs/ability

143
Q

Outcomes of Ortho in Patients with SHCN

A

Parents of children with disabilities report higher social acceptance and integration after treatment and higher satisfaction with results than parents of healthy children
No difference in overall treatment time for children with craniofacial anomalies
