ABSTRACT Objectives To compare treatment effects of the standard and shorty Class II Carriere Motion appliances (CMAs) on adolescent patients. Materials and Methods Fifty adolescents with Class II malocclusion formed group 1, who were treated with shorty CMA (n = 25, 12.66 ± 1.05 years), and age- and sex–matched group 2, who were treated with standard CMA (n = 25, 12.73 ± 1.07 years). Treatment effects were analyzed by tracing with Invivo software to compare pretreatment (T1) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images with post-CMA (T2) CBCT images. A total of 23 measurements were compared within and between groups. Results In groups 1 and 2, maxillary first molars showed significant distal movement from T1 to T2 (1.83 ± 2.11 mm and 2.14 ± 1.34 mm, respectively), with distal tipping and rotation in group 1 (6.52° ± 3.99° and 3.15° ± 7.52°, respectively) but only distal tipping (7.03° ± 3.45°) in group 2. Similarly, in both groups, the maxillary first premolars experienced significant distal movement with distal tipping but no significant rotation. In group 1, maxillary canines did not undergo significant distal movement. In both groups 1 and 2, mandibular first molars experienced significant mesial movement (1.85 ± 1.88 mm and 2.44 ± 2.02 mm, respectively). Group 1 showed statistically significantly less reduction in overjet and less canine distal movement with less distal tipping than group 2 (α < .05). Conclusions The shorty CMA achieved Class II correction similarly to the standard CMA, with less change in overjet and distal tipping movement of the maxillary canines.

Objectives: To evaluate the changes in the pharyngeal airway space (PAS) before and after bi-lateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) surgery using a three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (3D-CBCT). Material and Methods: The sample consisted of patients (n=7), aged between 21-30 years, having a skeletal Class II with retrognathic mandible and orthognathic maxilla who underwent orthodontic treatment and were advised for BSSO advancement surgery. Pre-surgical CBCT scans were taken a week before the surgery (T0) and the post-treatment records, three months after the surgery (T1). The 3D PAS was reconstructed from the CBCT scans, and the volumetric changes were evaluated.
