OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that there are no gender differences in the outcomes of patients with class II malocclusion treated with the headgear-activator Teuscher appliance (HATA).
DESIGN: Retrospective, longitudinal
SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION: Puerto Rico and Scotland, UK. Thirty-one patients requiring correction of class II division 1 malocclusions.
EXPERIMENTAL VARIABLE: Male and female patients treated using HATA.
OUTCOME MEASURES: Mean pre- and post-treatment parameters derived from cephalometry subjected to t-tests, and finite-element scaling analysis (FESA), which localizes and quantifies differences between mean pre- and post-treatment configurations.
RESULTS: Post-treatment, cephalometry showed that for both males and females, angle SNA decreased, SNB increased, and lower facial heights increased significantly (p < 0.01). For the female post-treatment configuration, FESA revealed large size increases (approximately 20%) located in the inter-maxillary region, the ramus and mandibular body, and around the nasal and mental regions. Conversely, the lip region was diminished (approximately 20%). Similarly, male post-treatment showed size increases located in the inter-maxillary region that extended into the nasal region and the mandibular body (approximately 10-15%), and around the chin (15%). The lip region was diminished (approximately 5%).
CONCLUSION: In the attainment of a normal occlusion, both male and female patients treated for class II malocclusions using HATA exhibit antero-posterior restraint of the maxilla, improvements in the mandible maintaining facial height, and lip changes commensurate with improvements in the soft tissue profile.
