[Growth and therapy in Angle class II/2--a longitudinal cephalometric study].
The influence of both growth and functional therapy with the U-Bow-Activator Type I on Angle class II subdivision 2 malocclusion is analysed in a cephalometric long term study. Findings concerning skeletal problems: 1. Therapeutically intended clockwise rotation of the mandible with vertically and sagittally controlled maxillary position, 2. achieving normal sagittal mandibular growth rates. Dental problems are improved significantly. The results obtained by functional therapy and growth proved to be stable in the post-treatment check-ups.
