GROWTH MODIFICATION
Growth modification attempt to change skeletal relationships by using the patient’s remaining growth to alter the size or position of the jaws.

Growth modificationThree assumptions are made when growth modification is undertaken:-
1- first and most obvious, the patient must be growing.- Females are best treated between the ages of 9 and
11 years.- males are best treated between the ages of 11 and
13years.
![Page 7: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Growth modification-2 The second assumption is that the orthodontist can diagnose the skeletal discrepancy and design treatment that will apply the appropriate amount and direction of force to correct the discrepancy.

Growth modification-3 The third assumption is that the growth modification is only the first phase of a two-phase treatment plan.
![Page 9: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How does Growth modification work??
Three theories are offered:-1- the first theory suggest that growth modification appliance change the absolute size of one or both jaws.2- the second theory is that growth modification may work by accelerating the desired growth but not changing the ultimate size or shape of the jaw.
![Page 10: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2- the second theory is that growth modification may work by accelerating the desired growth but not changing the ultimate size or shape of the jaw.
![Page 11: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3- the third possibility is that growth modification may work by changing the spatial relationship of the two jaws. The ultimate size of the jaw and its rate of growth are not changed, but by modifying the orientation of the jaws to each other, a more balanced profile may result.
![Page 12: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Biological age and hand radiograph:
HAND AND WRISTX-RAY:
■ In evaluating any group of normal children of the same
chronolgic age, it is clear that each has his own characteristic
growth time clock, i.e. there is early, middle and late maturars,
so chronolgic age is not an accurate indicator of the stage of
development. In an effort to determine a child's develompental
age, methods of assessment using skeletal maturation (hone
age) have been devised.
![Page 13: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hand wrist x-ray
![Page 14: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The hand and wrist have been used most commonly for assessment of pubertal maturation. The hand and wrist may be easily radiographed, with minimal radiation exposure to the rest of the body. The union of the epihyses with their diaphyses occurs in specific order, which in females is advanced 3-4 years compared to that in males. (Diaphysis is the shaft of long bone.
![Page 15: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Epiphysis: Portion of a bone which in early life is distinct from the shaft). Between the ages of 12.5 and 14 years the most active transformation of the epiphyseal cartilages occurs concurrently with peak height velocity and after completion of the permanent dentition through the second molars. Skeletal age was found to be more highly correlated with menarcheal age, and menarche usually occured soon after the fusion of the epiphyses of the distal phalanges with their shafts.
![Page 16: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1 -Chapman has proposed a radiographic method using a standardsized dental film to assess the development the first metacarpophalangeal joint. The development of the adductor sesamoid is staged according to ossification. The onset of ossification of the sesamoid occurs at the beginning of the adolescent spurt in height and maximum velocity usually occurs at the "seed” stage.
![Page 17: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It gradually increases in circumference over a period of 2 - 3 years. Immediately after the inital verification that the adductor sesamoid has started its calcification statural height and facial components begin a rapid, and definite spurt in their developmental growth velocity. A limiting factor in using this clinical signal is that without serial records the clinicians may have difficulty in determining with accuracy when the sesamoid started its mineralization if it is present at the time of the first recording.
![Page 18: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
It a significant percentage of calcification of the sesamoid has taken place the individual is beyond the pubertal phase of accelerated growth. The converse is also true without any initial signs of calcification that is the circum-pubertal growth spurt may be reliably assumed to have not yet begun.

Characteristic features of Skeletal class II patients.
Skeletal Class II malecc^sien may be characterized by both sagittal and
vertical discrepancies:
Sagittal discrepancies:
a. Prognathic maxilla and erthcgnathic mandible.
( maxillary protrusion).b. Retrognathic mandible and crthcgnathic maxilla, (mandibular
retrusion.) or
c. a combination of both.

For the average angle cases, the acrylic can be left untrimmed to restrict eruption of the lower molars.
![Page 70: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
In low angle cases, acrylic trimming is done to allow eruption of posterior teeth.

Duration and timing of wear Functional appliance treatment should be started
before the pubertal growth spurt This is the time when the mandible may exhibit
increased growth which may be influenced Functional appliances should be worn for at least
10-12 hours a day These appliances should be worn at nighttime as this
is when growth takes place

Low pull face bow Cervical pull face bow exerts
force below the level of occlusal plane will tend to extrude the upper molar teeth and thus cause an increase in the vertical dimension of the lower face. While this may be an advantage in a patient with a deep overbite and reduced lower facial height, it is contraindicated in a patient with open bite and increased lower face height .

straight pull headgear- External force is directed to more surface area - more comfort.
- direction of the force vector can be modified.
- If the forces are equal for each attachment the resulting force
vector is usually above the occlusal plane but inferior to the vector
created with the occipital attachment alone.
- Requires more patient CO operation
![Page 141: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
Duration of the force- At least 12 to 14 hrs per day (Klein 1957, Rickets 1960).
- Recommended in the evenings- growth hormone release is
higher. Growth hormone enhances the new bone formation at
the epiphyseal plates of the long bones in growing children.

Magnitude of the force.
- For dental movements -15 to 400gms per side depending on
the size and tooth movement,
- A minimum force of 250 gm per side (total 500gm) is enough
for to modify skeletal change.
- To maximize the potential for skeletal change, orthopedic
force - 400 to 900 gm per side [ 1 to 2 pounds ] (Graber 1965).

Timing of force application
- Orthopedic effect in growing children
- Most active period of growth.
1- Just before the eruption of permanent teeth or in mixed dentition
2 - during the pubertal growth spurt.

The sagittal correction of Class II cases may be brought
in several ways:
- Relocating the maxilla backward or inhibiting its growth,
- Moving the upper teeth distally.
- Releasing forward growth of the mandible,
- Moving the lower teeth mesially.
- Inhibiting the vertical growth of the maxilla.
- Inhibiting eruption of upper posterior teeth while permitting
eruption of lower posterior teeth.
![Page 146: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/146.jpg)
Low angle cases.
The treatment objectives in cases of this nature are to:
- reposition the maxilla posteriorly.
- permit forward growth of the mandible.
- promote eruption of lower posterior teeth.
- promote extrusion of the upper molars and distal eruption of the
remaining upper posterior teeth.
- restrain the anterior vertical growth and eruption of teeth, and
- prevent mesial drift of lower posterior teeth and buccal tipping of lower
incisors.
![Page 147: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/147.jpg)
Extra oral force is mandatory for 2 reasons:
- There is an extensive skeletal discrepancy due essentially to a protracted maxilla and,
- The lower incisors would not be tipped further labially, which happens often when activator are used alone.- Extraoral appliance of choice Cervical headgear, since it has both a distal and an inferior force component.

Average angle cases
٠ Class II children with ncrmal face height (many of whom have anterior deep bite because of excessive eruption of lower incisors) can be treated with either headgear or a functional appliance.
٠ If molars are moved distally and extruded, the mandibular plane angle tends to increase.
٠ straight-pull or interlandi headgear is preferred over cervical headgear, to reduce elongation of maxillary molars and better control
![Page 150: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
Average angle cases
- It is a combination of the high-pull and cervical headgear.
- Main advantage is pure posterior translatory force as required in Class II
malocclusion with no vertical problems.
- This is accomplished by placing the force vector through the center of
resistance, parallel to the occlusal plane.
-This means bending the outer bow to the same level as CR, and hooking
the elastic to a notch at the same vertical level. This prevents anterior
migration of maxillary teeth, or possibily even translate them posteriorly.

Orthopedic TreatmentThe goal of orthopedic treatment is to maximize the skeletal changes and minimize the dental changes produced by the orthopedic force. The method and effect of growth modification by the orthopedic appliances depend on the initial age of the patient and their skeletal pattern. Orthopedic treatment should be limited to children with active growth remaining. Since more skeletal change is obtained when orthopedic treatment is started early, it is recommended to start treatment in the early mixed dentition stage (eruption stage of the permanent incisors and first molars).
![Page 154: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/154.jpg)
For treatment with a chin cap ,orthopedic treatment should be continued until growth is complete or when the growth rate is decreased. Remaining growth should be evaluated not by chronological age but skeletal age. Skeletal age may be assessed by either hand-wrist radiographs, change in height or secondary sexual characteristics, or using the vertebral maturation method. Annual cephalometric radiographs are considered most accurate in evaluating completion of skeletal growth. Cephalometric analyses can also help in determining whether the skeletal Class III problem is due to an underdeveloped maxilla, overdeveloped mandible, or a combination of both.
![Page 155: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/155.jpg)
The choice of orthopedic appliances for growth modification is usually determined according to the patient’s skeletal pattern. In general, chin caps are used in children who have an overdeveloped mandible while rapid palatal expansion (RPE) and/or maxillary protraction is used in patients who have a maxillary deficiency.
![Page 156: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)
In addition, to obtain optimal treatment results, it is important for the patient to wear the orthopedic appliance for more than 12 hours a day. Therefore patient cooperation is paramount in orthopedic treatment of Class III malocclusion patients.
![Page 157: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/157.jpg)
Chin CapIn patients with an overdeveloped mandible, chin caps have been used in an effort to inhibit mandibular growth. However, there are limitations in its use since the mandibular condyle is a growth site rather than a growth center. According to reports by Mitani and Sugawara,6 chin cap therapy on children with overdeveloped mandibles was effective during the period of treatment but lacked long-term stability due to relapse from catch-up growth of the mandible.
![Page 158: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/158.jpg)
Dermaut and Aelbers also stated that chin cap therapy is best used on mild skeletal Class III patients or asauxiliary measures in patients wearing functional appliances.
![Page 159: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/159.jpg)
Since the main effect of chin cap therapy is backward and downward displacement of the mandible with linguoversion of the lower incisors, its use should be limited to children with a pseudo (functional) Class III or a mild Class III malocclusion. For patients who have an overdeveloped mandible, it is prudent to plan for orthognathic surgery after growth is complete.
![Page 160: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)
Class III malocclusion with mandibular excess
There is some evidence that a chin cup is more effective in young children under age 7 than the same treatment used later.
Unfortunately despite efforts to modify excessive mandibular growth, many of these children ultimately need surgery, and the chin cup treatment is essentially
camouflage.
![Page 161: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)
High pull Chin cup Chin cup is used to inhibit or control forward
growth of the mandible in skeletal Class III patients. Patients with mandibular excess can usually be recognized in the primary dentition despite the fact that the mandible appears retrognathic in the early years of most children .

DIAGNOSIS AND ETIOLOGYThe patient, an 8-year-old girl, came to the
Kangnung National University Orthodontic Clinic in Gangneung, South Korea, with a chief concern of “my bite is not right.” Clinically, she had a concave facial profile, and acute nasolabial angle, and a protrusive mandible.

TREATMENT PROGRESSPhase 1 treatment was started at age 8 years 4 months with
a maxillary removable appliance to regain space lost from the early loss of the deciduous molars (Fig 4). After 6 months of observation, a surgical miniplate was placed. Local infiltration anesthesia was administered to the maxillary left and right buccalvestibular areas after surgical disinfection. A vestibular incision around the canine area was performed. After an atraumatic subperiosteal dissection to the infrazygomatic crest, a curvilinear miniplate was adapted, bent to the zygomatic buttress’s bony surface, and fixated with 3 self-tapping miniscrews per side.

Maxillary protraction was started 2 weeks after placement of the miniplates, with a force of 300cN per side applied 12 to 14 hours per day (Fig 6). Within 10 months of treatment, a three quarters premolar width Class II molar relationship was established. Thereafter, the patient’s wearing of protraction headgear was limited to nighttime only as a retainer for 10 months. The plates were removed after the facemask treatment. A mucoperiosteal incision and a subperiosteal dissection were performed to expose the miniplate. The monocortical screws were removed first, and the miniplate was then detached because often new bone is deposited next to the plate. The surgical site was then closed and sutured.

Progress records taken at age 10 years 7 months showed favorable growth between the maxilla and the mandible, and the malocclusion could be camouflaged by orthodontic treatment. The patient was treated with fixed appliances for 18 months to establish a good molar relationship and correct the midline discrepancy. A maxillary circumferential retainer and a mandibular lingual fixed retainer were placed after appliance removal. The patient was instructed to wear the retainer at night for 10 to 12 hours.

TREATMENT RESULTS After 14 months of protraction headgear treatment the
malocclusion was overcorrected to a Class II molar relationship to compensate for future excessive mandibular growth. Superimposition of pretreatment and posttreatment cephalometric tracings showed 8.1 mm of forward movement of A-point and 3.3 of counterclockwise tipping of the palatal plane . The ANB angle changed from –2.2 to 1 6.7. The SNO, or angle between the anterior cranial base and orbitale, changed from 63 to 70. Labial tipping of the maxillary incisors and lingual tipping of the mandibular incisors, which are typically observed after tooth-borne protraction, were not seen with the miniplates.

Maxillary ProtractionIn children with an underdeveloped maxilla, maxillary growth can be facilitated by means of an orthopedic force with a protraction device.To encourage forward and downward growth of the maxilla, it is most effectively performed when the maxilla is protracted as one rigid unit. For this reason, labiolingual appliances, removable appliances, or fixed appliances with strong heavy wires can be used. However, RPE is considered one of the most popular and effective appliances.
![Page 209: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/209.jpg)

Previous studies have shown that patients protracted after opening the midpalatal suture with RPE showed greater forward displacement of A point than patients protracted with a labiolingual appliance and no midpalatal suture opening.

Recently, miniscrews have been inserted on the palatal or labial side of the alveolar bone and connected to the RPE to reinforce the maxilla. For patients with increased lower face height, a posterior bite blocks on the lower dentition or bonded RPE appliances can be used to avoid an increase in the vertical dimension.

There have been numerous reports regarding maxillary protraction with orthopedic force.However, relapse following treatment has been seen in certain patients after growth has been completed. According to Sung and Baik, the direction of the forward and downward displacement resulting from the maxillary protraction was similar to that of a Class I control group while the amount of forward and downward maxillary displacement measured at A point was significantly greater than that in the Class I control group.
![Page 213: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/213.jpg)
However, during the observation period of 1 year following protraction, the amount of maxillary growth in the protraction group was found to be less than the control group, indicating the possibility of short-term relapse. Figure below shows a 14-year 6-month-old Class III patient with an underdeveloped maxilla and a fairly long mandibular body length.
![Page 214: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/214.jpg)
The patient was treated with an RPE and facemask for 1 year and6 months and treatment was completed withfixed appliances. Due to the maxillary protraction, the mandible rotated backward and downward resulting in an increase in mandibular plane angle from 42.1° to 43.9° and a 2-mmanterior open bite.

Because of these changes, miniscrews were implanted between the upper first and second molars for intrusion in the second phase of treatment. Following treatment,the openbite was closed and the mandibularplane angle returned to 42.8°.

Rapid maxillary expansion (RME)
can be used to correct unilateral or
bilateral posterior cross-bites and it occurs
when the forces applied to the teeth and
the maxillary alveolar process exceeds the
limit needed for orthodontic tooth
movement and the applied pressure acts as
an orthopedic force that opens the
midpalatal suture.

•As sutural patency is vital to R.M.E, it is important to know
when does the suture closes by synostosis.
• On an average 5% of suture is closed by age 25 years.
Earliest closure occurs in girls aged 15 yrs. Greater degree of
obliteration occurs posteriorly than anteriorly.
•Ossification comes very late anterior to incisive foramen –
this is important when planning surgical freeing in late
instances of RME

Haas introduced an appliance which is a tissue borne fixed appliance. He believed that his appliance can cause more parallel expansion forces on the two maxillary halves and that the forces are more evenly distributed on the teeth and the alveolar processes.
![Page 230: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/230.jpg)
The appliance is attached to the teeth, with bands on the first molars and first premolars, and to the palate, by acrylic pads between the first premolar and first molar.

either unilateral or bilateral posterior crossbites
involving several teeth are candidates for RME.

•The basic principle of the appliance involves the
generation of forces that are capable of splitting the
mid-palatine suture. Hence, the forces should be
definitely more than the usually used orthodontic forces.
•The forces generated are close to 10 to 20 pounds. An
expansion of 0.2 to 0.5-mm should be achieved per
day. The screw is activated at between 0.5 to 1mm per
day and about 1 cm of expansion can be expected in 2
to 3 weeks.
![Page 238: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/238.jpg)
•The activation schedules tend to vary depending upon the
age of the patient and form of the appliance. Timms has
suggested an activation of 90°,morning and evening for
patients up to the age of 15 years. In Patient above this age,
he suggests an activation of 45° four tirnes aday.

• Zimring and lsaacson recommended, two turns per day for
initial 4 to 5 days followed by once turn per day in growing
individuals. For adults the recommended two turns each for the
first two days followed by one turn per day for the next 5 to 7
days and then only one turn every alternate day till the desired
expansion is achieved.

• A transverse maxillary deficiency in an adult is a
challenging problem, especially when it is combined
with a severe anteroposterior jaw discrepancy. The
demand for nonsurgical maxillary expansion might
increase as patients and clinicians try to avoid a 2-
stage surgical procedure—surgically assisted rapid
palatal expansion followed by orthognathic surgery—
and detrimental periodontal effects and relapse
![Page 248: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/248.jpg)
• In this regard, a miniscrew- assisted rapid palatal
expansion was devised and used to treat a 20-year-old
patient who had severe transverse discrepancy and
mandibular prognathism.
• Sufficient maxillary orthopedic expansion with
minimal tipping of the buccal segment was achieved
preoperatively, and orthognathic surgery corrected the
anteroposterior discrepancy.
![Page 249: Growth modification of different types of malocclusion](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030304/58776b1a1a28ab5b568b4a65/html5/thumbnails/249.jpg)
•The periodontal soundness and short-term stability of
the maxillary expansion were confirmed both
clinically and radiologically.
•Effective incorporation of orthodontic miniscrews for
transverse correction might help eliminate the need for
some surgical procedures in patients with complex
craniofacial discrepancies by securing the safety and
stability of the treatment, assuming that the suture is
still patent.

Slow Palatal Expansion The second category for maxillary expansion is the slow
maxillary expansion group. These appliances apply slow and continuous forces which do
not attempt, as a main objective, to open the midpalatal suture.
These appliances include: removable expansion plates , Porter W arch, and Quad-Helix.

Case report 6 a 5-year-old boy who presented with a unilateral posterior lingual crossbite and a lateral mandibular shift due to a width discrepancy between the maxillary and mandibular arches. The discrepancy between the width of the maxilla and that of the mandible caused the mandible to deviate to one side to occlude on the posterior teeth.

Transverse Expansion of the Arches
Active plate splitted in the midline will expand constricted maxillary arch almost totally by tipping the posterior teeth buccally .Not by opening mid-platal suture.
Therefore this appliance is not indicated for skeletal crossbites or dental expansion for more than 2 mm per side.
