About this study

Comparison between two types of fixed functional appliances, the first one is the Mandibular Protraction Appliances, while the second one was the PowerScope Appliance.

the treatment duration was 6 months the patients age was considered according to Baccetti et al, CVMI 3,4

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

  • Age ranged from 13-16 years.
  • Overjet ≥ 5 mm.
  • Minimum crowding in dental arches requiring no extraction of any permanent teeth (excluding third molars).
  • Good oral hygiene and general health.
  • No previous orthodontic treatment or jaw's surgery.

Exclusion criteria

PowerScope Appliance

Device

PowerScope Appliance was installed on fixed orthodontic appliance

Primary outcomes

  1. SNA angle (on Cephalometric radiograph)

    Time frame: 6 months

    Anteroposterior postition of maxilla in relation to the anterior cranial base (SN line)

  2. SNB angle (on Cephalometric radiograph)

    Time frame: 6 months

    Anteroposterior postition of mandible in relation to the anterior cranial base (SN line)

  3. ANB angle (on Cephalometric radiograph)

    Time frame: 6 months

    The relationaship between maxilla and mandible

  4. Effective mandibular length (mm) (on Cephalometric radiograph)

    Time frame: 6 months

    the length of the mandible (change in length before and after treatment)

  5. Mandibular plane angle (on Cephalometric radiograph)

    Time frame: 6 months

    the angle between inferior border of the mandible (Go Me) and the anterior cranial base (SN line)

  6. Maxillary incisors inclination (angle) (on Cephalometric radiograph)

    Time frame: 6 months

    The change of maxillary incisors inclination between the long axis of most protruded upper incisors and anterior cranial base (Sn line)

  7. Mandibular incisors inclination (angle) (on Cephalometric radiograph)

    Time frame: 6 months

    The change of mandibular incisors inclination between the long axis of most protruded upper incisors and anterior cranial base (Sn line)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Upper lip retrusion (mm) (on Cephalometric radiograph)

    Time frame: 6 months

    the amount of upper lip retrusion in millimeter in relation to E line (line extended between pronasale and soft tissue pogonion points)

  2. Lower lip protrusion (on Cephalometric radiograph)

    Time frame: 6 months

    the amount of lower lip protrusion in millimeter in relation to E line (line extended between pronasale and soft tissue pogonion points)
