Abstract

A summary of the current status of modification of jaw growth indicates the following: 1. Transverse expansion of the maxilla is easy before adolescence, requires heavy forces to create micro fractures during adolescence, and can be accomplished only with partial or complete surgical osteotomy after adolescence. Transverse expansion of the mandible or constriction of either jaw requires surgery. 2. Acceleration of mandibular growth in preadolescent or adolescent patients can be achieved, but slower than normal growth afterward reduces or eliminates a long-term increase in size of the mandible. Restraint of maxillary growth occurs with all types of appliances to correct skeletal Class II problems. 3. Attempts to restrain mandibular growth in Class III patients with external forces largely result in downward and backward rotation of the mandible. Moving the maxilla forward with external force is possible before adolescence; moving it forward and simultaneously restricting forward mandibular growth without rotating the jaw is possible during adolescence with intermaxillary traction to bone anchors.4. For short-face Class II patients, increasing the face height during preadolescent or adolescent orthodontic treatment is possible. For those with a long face, controlling excessive vertical growth during adolescence is rarely successful.
