Quantification of Skeletal and Dental Changes Associated with the Forsus (trademark) Appliance: A Comparison of Treatment Effects Observed During and Following Peak Growth Velocity

Abstract

The goal of this thesis was to compare the skeletal and dental effects of the Forsus (trademark) appliance observed on patients during peak growth versus post peak growth.The hypothesis was established that patients undergoing Class II treatment with a Forsus (trademark) appliance during peak growth velocity would experience a larger degree of skeletal change than that observed in patients undergoing treatment with the same appliance, who have completed peak growth.
