lecture 3 Flashcards
this tends to stay stable throughout life
mandibular plane angle
dolychocephalic patients
face longer
bracleycephalic
square face
what are the best growth predictors
mand plane
y axis
bjork studies (pts keep their growth patterns constant)
normocephalic
if MP angle and Y axis are normal then
predictable growth pattern
female and male growth spurts
female= 10-12
male= 12-14 until 17
stimulation of periosteal growth by aleration of the neuromuscular environment. this appliance will stimulate periosteal pull and bone apposition
-not tooth borne application
-for class II population
frankl applicance
(intramembraneous)
maxillary expansion applicance:
you will get a wider maxilla
T/F: functional crossbite must be corrected at a young age
true
this slows down growth at the tuberosity level (growth site)
head gear
this lets the mandible catch up on growth
