[The study of holographic interferometry of the maxilla].
The method which combines the removable appliance with a headgear attached to the maxillary dentition is widely used in treatment of the maxillary protrusion of growing children. The initial reaction of maxillary complex caused by the removable appliance retraction was studied by the holographic interferometry. In this paper, the results indicate that when the pull applied along the occlusal plane the maxilla was moved downward, whereas when the pall applied along the occlusal plane at 15 the maxilla was moved upward and backward. The advantage of this method and model of the experimentation was discussed in the paper.
