High impact information on Orthodontic Appliances, Functional

Following distraction, functional orthodontic appliance therapy was initiated during growth to correct the cant of the occlusal plane by extrusion of teeth on the affected side for improved facial symmetry [1].
Hemifacial microsomia treated with the Herbst appliance. Report of a case analyzed by means of roentgen stereometry and metallic implants [2].
The results of the investigation revealed the following: (1) Bite jumping with the Herbst appliance resulted in Class 1 occlusal relationships in all treated cases [3].

Associations of Orthodontic Appliances, Functional with chemical compounds

Lateral headfilms of 15 hypodivergent (ML/NSL < or = 26 degrees) and 16 hyperdivergent (ML/NSL > 39 degrees) Class II subjects treated to a Class I occlusal relationship with the Herbst appliance were analyzed [4].
