Abstract

LLAMAS-CARRERAS, José María  and  BRAVO-GONZALEZ, Luis Alberto. Results of Class II correction with a modified Bionator appliance. RCOE [online]. 2005, vol.10, n.1, pp.21-28. ISSN 1138-123X.

We analyzed patients with retruded mandible and class II malocclusion, treated with a Bionator appliance in a first orthodontic phase. The patients were included in the study if they had stable normocclusion more than four years after completion of the whole treatment. Results show favourable, but light, changes in sagittal relations of both jaws, and significant changes in the proclination of both incisors, that helped to correct class II malocclusion.

Keywords : Class II malocclusion; Orthopedic changes; Bionator appliance.
