Clinical Implication of Skeletal Anchorage in Maxillary Constriction and Vertical Control

Abstract

The lecture will focus on load system associated with skeletal anchorage in patients’ maxillary constriction and open bite.

Learning Objectives: 1) Discuss the effects of correcting maxillary constriction in patients with and without skeletal anchorage; 2) How biology is affected with commonly used load system in maxillary constriction and vertical control; and 3) Discuss the limitations and future with commercially available skeletal anchorage systems.
