CORRECTION OF JAW RELATION BY SKELETAL ANCHORAGE MINIPLATES.

摘要

A new technique to achieve anterior displacement of the retro positioned mandible synchronously the applying of fixed orthodontic appliance during the treatment of skeletal class II malocclusion. This technique utilizes the skeletal miniplates which are fixed bilaterally on both jaws; in the anterior maxilla and the posterior mandible. Intermaxillary elastic is extended between the hooks of these miniplates and applies a force of 400-500g in each side. The elastics are easily replaced every 12 hours by the patient.
