Treatment of class II dysgnathy during the growing ages through growth-influencing methods. (A–D) Before treatment: (A) lateral view photo of the patient, (B) frontal view photo of the patient, (C) intraoral photo, and (D) cephalometric radiograph. (E–G) The use of the device to influence growth: creating new conditions for the jaw condyles and, thus, intensifying growth in the fossa and condyles. Mandibular advancement through the construction bite causes bone resorption and bone apposition in the fossa and condyles. The MRI image shows the new position of the condyles with the construction bite. (H–K) After treatment: (H) lateral view photo of the patient, (I) frontal view photo, (J) intraoral photo, and (K) cephalometric radiograph.
