Anchorage Reinforcement in Bimaxillary Proclination Cases
Sponsor: University of Malaya
Summary
Bimaxillary protrusion are common in Malaysia due to the prevalence in the two biggest races (Malay and Chinese). However, evidence for treatment methods and outcomes for bimaxillary protrusion patients are scarce. The need for high anchorage in bimaxillary protrusion cases also makes them perfect candidates for a study on the effectiveness of different anchorage methods commonly used in treatment of bimaxillary protrusion cases. The soft tissue outcomes from the use of these different methods are also our area of interest. Hence, the investigators aim is to prove that molar block anchorage similarly effective and has the same outcome as using other conventional auxiliary anchorage such as TPA and Nance button in treating patients with bimaxillary protrusion.
