INTRODUCTION
 Functional appliances are

defined as loose fitting or
passive appliances which
harness or eliminates
natural forces of the orofacial musculature that
are transmitted to the
teeth and alveolar bone
through the medium of the
appliance .

www.indiandentalacademy.com
INTRODUCTION…..
The basis of functional treatment in general is the principle
that a “new pattern of function” dictated by the appliance ,
leads to corresponding “new morphologic pattern”.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
INTRODUCTION….

The functional regulator is a removable orthodontic appliance
developed by Professor Rolf Frankel .
This appliance is used during the mixed and early permanent
dentition stages to effect changes in anteroposterior, transverse,
and vertical jaw relationships.
 The Frankel appliance, as it is more commonly termed, has
two main treatment effects.
First, it serves as a template against which the craniofacial
muscles function.
The second effect of the Frankel appliance is its influence on
skeletal and dental development

www.indiandentalacademy.com
HISTORY
In 1880, Kingsley introduced the term and concept

of "jumping the bite" for patients with mandibular
retrusion.
 Robin in 1902had created an appliance quite

similar in its objectives; The monobloc.
Impressed by Kingsley's concepts and appliances,

Viggow Andresen in 1908 developed activator.
 Frantisek Kraus of Prague used oral screen to

interrupt abnormal muscle force resulting from
thumb or tongue sucking .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
HISTORY
 Then Rolf Frankel of Germany developed an appliance in
about the middle of this century, which was not only
inhibitory but influence function in a more positive way .
This initial appliance was just two buccal shields ,
connected by wires without any clasp .
Growth guidance was a vague concept before
Frankel’s contribution.

 Charles Nord was correct when he called the
Frankel method a, “revolution in orthodontic
appliances ”.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Synonyms:

 Frankel appliance
 Vestibular appliance
 Oral gymnastic appliance
 Functional regulator

Frankel postulates that the increase in crowding is the result of
hypertonic muscles in the buccinator mechanism restricting the
lateral growth of the teeth and their supporting tissues. One
objective of the vestibular shield is to regulate the hypertonic
muscles of the buccinator and perioral muscles, thereby giving
rise to the name functional regulator.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
PHILOSOPHY OF FRANKEL APPLIANCE
1.Vestibular arena of operation
Frankel appliance is confined to the oral vestibule
and holds away, The buccal and labial musculature from the
dentition in those areas in which the pressure on the dento
alveolar structures has restricted the outward development of
these Structures.
Dentition is heavily influenced by
1)Functional matrix.
2)The buccinator mechanism.
3) Orbicularis Oris complex.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Functional matrix concept of Melvin Moss:

Buccal shields of frankel directly alter the soft tissue
configuration, increasing the oral volume, that is the capsular
matrix that allows the muscle to exercise and adapt and
improve.

The impact of the space increase on the basal development of
mandible has been suggested.

The term translative growth gives a new credence to the
theoretic and therapeutic aspect of orthopedic treatment with
frankel.

the Frankel appliance,
OO , Obicularis oris.
B, Buccinator. PMR,

LP, Labial pad. VS, Vestibular
shield. The functional regulator
provides a larger functional
matrix than the teeth. The
buccinator mechanism will
grow and adapt to whichever
functional matrix (soft-tissue
capsule) is present in the
mouth. This adaptation occurs
primarily during growth. After
growth is complete, very little, if
www.indiandentalacademy.com
any, change can be expected.
SCREENING EFFECT OF THE BUCCAL SHIELDS

Buccal shields and lip pads effectively holds the buccal and
labial musculature away from the dento -alveolar complex
eliminating the restrictive effect of the structures.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
2 . Sagital correction via tooth borne maxillary
anchorage
Forward posturing of the mandible is achieved by
an acrylic pad that contacts alveolar bone behind the
alveolar segment.
3. Differential eruption guidance.
By being free of the mandibular teeth selective
eruption of the lower posterior teeth is possible which
corrects vertical dimension deficiencies.
4. Buccal shields , lip pads and periosteal pull.
There will be an outward periosteal pull by
maximum extension of the shields And pads into the depths
of buccal and labial vestibule to the point at which the
depth of the sulcus is under tension .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
The vestibular shield creates
tension at the depth of the
mucobuccal fold in a lateral
direction. This tension is
directed at influencing the
erupting permanent teeth to
erupt further laterally than
normal, thereby resulting in
arch expansion. Notice that
less influence is seen on
fully erupted teeth, as shown
by the open arrow.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
5)Postural behaviour of muscles .
There is considerable evidence that
postural disorders of the orofacial musculature play a
significant role in the causation of dento facial
disharmony . The aim of frankel appliance is to identify
the faulty performance of orofacial musculature and to
correct it by orthopedic exercises. Therefore frankel
appliance is an effective muscle trainer of the orofacial
musculature.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
6)Condylar growth
The anterior repositioning of the mandible
implies on alteration in the TMJ area. .Thus at right age ,
condylar growth can be successfully stimulated.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
INDICATIONS:
 AGE GROUP OF 8-10 YEARS (MIXED DENTITION
PERIOD)WITH GROWTH SPURTS.

with skeletal as well as dent alveolar problems.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
DISADVANTAGES:
1.The appliance is bulky and the cooperation of the
patient is essential.
2.They cannot be used in adult patients were the
growth has ceased.
3. Cannot be used to bring about individual tooth
movement and in cases of crowding.
4. Fixed appliance therapy may be required at the
termination of treatment for final detailing of the
treatment.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
DIAGNOSIS:
VISUAL TREATMENT OBJECTIVE DIAGNOSTIC
TEST
> The VTO for FR therapy is a simple but important
clue as to the efficiency of the FR appliance in any clinical
case .
> It is a functional test , that also helps to establish
whether a patient can tolerate a protrusive bite, as well as
whether satisfactory esthetic improvement occurs. The
patient is asked to posture the mandible forward to the
correct sagital relationship. If the outcome of the VTO test
is positive, the patient can be adjudged suitable for the
Frankel therapy.
However a proper cephalometric analysis is the
correct way to determine whether FR is the appliance of
choice.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Palatal bow
It provides some extra wire length to facilitate a lateral
expansion adjustment.
The wire should cross the occlusal surface in the embrasure
Mesial to the first molar. Locking of the appliance on the
maxillary arch is mainly due to this insertion on the
embrasure.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Labial bow
The bow originates in the buccal shield and lies in the
middle of the labial surfaces of incisors , turning gingivally at
right angles between maxillary lateral incisors and canines.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Canine loop
The loop wraps around the lingual surface of the canines
.It is embedded in the buccal shield at the occlusal plane level.

CONSTRUCTION
:
The steps are
1. separators.
Recommended 1 week before taking the impression. Placed between
maxillary canine and first deciduous molars or first molar embrasure.
The slicing mechanism allows immediate seating of the appliance.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
2. Impression
Very important clinical procedure so that impression reproduces
the whole alveolar process up to the depth of the sulci.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
3.Constuction bite.

The purpose of this mandibular manipulation is to
relocate the jaw in the direction of treatment objectives. This
creates artificial functional forces and allows assessment of
the appliance's mode of action. Before taking the construction
bite, the clinician must prepare by making a detailed study of
the plaster casts, cephalometric and pan oral head films, and
the patient's functional pattern.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
.Constuction bite………






For minor sagital problems (2-4mm) the construction bite is
taken in an end to end incisal relationship.
Horizontal and vertical requirements.
Construction bite should not move the mandible forward
further than 2.5 mm to 3mm .
End to end incisal relationship or no more than 6mm forward.
Positioning the edge to edge contact will determine the vertical
opening.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Construction bite……

Frankel appliance design and construction permits a
further advancement of the mandible after a favorable
response to the treatment from the construction bite .

Optimal prechondroblastic activity in the condyle is
observed by staged construction bite.

In the frankel technique construction bite is not open
any more than needed to allow the cross over wires to pass
through the interdental space. It is necessary for effective lip
seal exercises

www.indiandentalacademy.com
4.Working model pour up and trimming.
Models should extend away from the alveolar process at
least 5mm to permit application of wax.
5.Cast carving.
Casts are carved for accommodating the buccal shield
and lip pads .

www.indiandentalacademy.com
6. Work model mounting .
mount the models on the straight line fixators.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. Wax relief.
o
Wax padding under the buccal shield to establish space between
the tissue and the appliance.
o
Wax is thicker in the maxillary sulcus than in the mandibular
sulcus
o
Thickness is determined individually by the amount of desired
expansion needed. should not exceed more than 3mm.
o
Wax covering important in the region of the first deciduous
molar
o
Waxing is done separately on maxillary and mandibular cast and
then joined together

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Wire forming
The FR II is modified by adding a stainless steel
protrusion bow (0.8mm )behind the maxillary incisors ,
which serves to maintain the prefunctional alignment and
also stabilizes the appliance.

.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Canine loops

Originate in the buccal shield but they embrace the canine
buccal instead of lingually.

By placing these wires 2 to 3mm away from the canine the
restrictive muscle function is eliminated .

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Lingual stabilizing bow.
• Improved structural support and gives stability to the
maxillary arch.
• It originates in the vestibular shield and passes through the
canine –first deciduous molar embrasure.
• Wire forms loops that approximate the palatal mucosa and
recurve vertically to contact the incisors at the canine
lateral embrasure.
• A 90 degree bend allows the wire to follow the lingual
contours of the four incisors , right above the cingula .
• Its Objective of preventing lingual tipping of the maxillary
incisors.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Fabrication of acrylic parts:

Wires are bent and properly adapted to the models and they are
secured with sticky wax .

Buccal shields and lip pads and lingual pads are fabricated in
self cure acrylic.
Shields:


bone growth.
Labial bow.
It extends across the six mandibular anterior teeth just above the inter
dental papillae. After a 90 degree bend downward at the distal edge of the
lower canine , another horizontal bend is made approximately 5mm below
the gingival margin.

Buccal shields
Stands away some 3mm from maxillae Posterior dento alveolar structures.
They are in contact with mandibular teeth and the mandibular apical base
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Occlusal rests.
Occlusal shield originates in the vestibular shield and is adapted to
lie in the occlusal fissure of the last mandibular molar.
Palatal bow
•
It pass directly distal to the last molar tooth before inserting in
the buccal shields .
•
It is capable of delivering a forward force vector to the
maxillary dentition.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Mode of action:

The proposed method of
action of the FR-3 appliance.
The distracting forces of the
upper lip are removed from
the maxilla by the upper
labial pads. The force of the
upper lip is transmitted
through the appliance to the
mandible because of the
close fit of the appliance to
that arch (after Fränkel1).

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Construction bite
The procedure of taking the construction bite is done by retruding the
mandible as much as possible with the condyle in its most posterior position.
The vertical opening is kept to a minimum to allow lip closure with minimal
stress.
Wax relief
No wax is applied to the mandibular arch.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Fabrication of acrylic parts same as FR I and FR II.

Finished appliance

FR IV.

USES
•
Correction of open bite and bimaxillary protrusion.
•
exclusively confined to mixed dentition

Components.
•
Same vestibular configuration as FR I and II with no canine loops and
protrusion bows.
•
There are four occlusal rests on the maxillary first molars, and first
deciduous molars to prevent tipping of the appliance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
MODE OF ACTION OF FR IV

As a result of treatment of these anomalies with the FR-4
appliance and lip seal training, the growth and development
pattern of the mandible was altered. The spontaneous
downward and backward growth direction of the mandible was
changed to a upward and forward direction by FR-4 therapy,
allowing the skeletal anterior open bite to be successfully
corrected through upward and forward mandibular rotation.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
FR V

Modification of Frankel by Albert H Owen (1985 –JCO)

INDICATED
Long face syndrome having a high mandibular plane
angle and vertical maxillary excess .

www.indiandentalacademy.com
 The appliance consists of addition of
posterior acrylic bite blocks
to arrest molar eruption.

 It also has head gear tubes that accept
a face bow for an occipital pull headgear.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Advantages in combination of frankel with head gear.
1. The vertical dimension can be decreased through intrusion
of the molars.
2. Increased mandibular growth.
3. Significant lateral expansion may reduce the need for
expansion.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
MODIFICATIONS
1. By H S ORTON ( JCO 1992)
> Vestibular shields have 3 -4mm less peripheral
extension than the conventional appliance.
Capped Frankel appliance.
> Lower labial capping – The lingual acrylic of FR II is
extended to cover the incisal 1/3 rd of lower
incisors and cuspids.

2. Modified function regulator
S. Haynes, Edinburgh, Great Britain
Note palatal acrylic support
and continuous buccolabial
acrylic construction, which
replaces conventional
function regulator with
separate buccal shields and
lip pads. The appliance is
not "locked" into the mesial
embrasure of the maxillary
first molars by a crosspalatal bar.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
TREATMENT
OBJECTIVES
Frankel produces the following changes in the orofacial
complex.
1 .An Increase of sagital and transverse intraoral space.
2. An increase of vertical intra oral space.
3. Forward positioning of the mandible.
4. Muscle function adaptation.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
1. INCREASE IN INTRA ORAL SPACE.


It is achieved primarily through buccal shields and lip
pads which eliminate the harmful mechanical forces on
the pressure sensitive membraneous structures.



The constant outward pull that is exerted on the
connective tissue fibers and muscle attachments in the oral
vestibule is transmitted to the alveolar bone by the fibers
inserting into the periostium and bone. This aids in the
lateral movement.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
2. VERTICAL SPACE INCREASE.


Increase of vertical intraoral space is possible because
the construction bite is taken, so that the bite is opened
in the posterior segments as the mandible is held
forward.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
3. MANDIBULAR PROTACTION.
The position of the mandible is changed through the
gradual training of the protractor and retractor muscles
followed by condylar adaptation.
The effect of the u loop and lingual plate on the
mandibular positioning through pressure sensation .

www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. MUSCLE FUNCTION ADAPTATION.

Development of new patterns of motor function ,
improvement of muscle tones and establishment of
proper
oral seal.


The pads and shields massage the soft tissues improving
blood circulation .



The pads and shields stretch the muscles in disto occlusion.

CLINICAL HANDLING
OF THE
APPLIANCE
Stabilizing the appliance at the delivery is absolutely essential
Pre placement, all margins are checked for smoothness .
 Check vertical dimension.
 Over extension of the labial ,lingual, lip and buccal pads
causes tissue irritation . So the extension should be correct.
The appliance should be inserted with a slight rotatory
motion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Wearing time
o

Although the Frankel appliance will be worn all the time except for
the meals the treatment should be started slowly.
o
For the first two2 weeks the appliance should be worn for 2 to 4
hours during the day.
o
During the next 3 weeks the time is extended to 4 to 6 hours.
it usually takes 2 months before the appliance is worn at night.
o
The appliance and treatment progress should be checked at 4 weeks
interval.
An initial end to end molar relationship is corrected in 6 months.

Treatment timing
Optimum time to start the treatment is the mixed dentition period.
(8 to 10 year age)

Frontal Facial Changes with the Frankel Appliance
Albert H. Owen.
ANGLE ORTHODONTICS 1988 MARCH

1. Edgewise treatment does not appear to increase the
mandibular width more than average growth without treatment.
2. Frankel treatment appears to increase the mandibular width
significantly more than either Edgewise or average growth. This
phenomenon is most likely due to the action of the vestibular
shields.
3. Frankel treatment tends to make the patient more
brachyfacial than average growth, as revealed by the frontal
facial taper angle.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
4.
Brachyfacial individuals appear to have more ideal
occlusions ( PLATOU AND ZACHRISSON (1983)28, and
perhaps have better stability than less brachyfacial
individuals.
5.
Brachyfacial faces are more common among models,
movie stars, and beauty contest winners than dolichofacial
faces, suggesting that brachyfacial individuals have more
pleasing esthetics than more narrow-faced people.
6.
Untreated Class II individuals do not appear to grow as
wide as untreated Class I individuals. The reason for this is
unknown.

Morphologic changes in the sagital dimension
using the Frankel appliance – Owen
AJO 1981 Dec
The potential improvements have been presented, and
their coordination into a multibanded practice seems
possible. Whatever results are lacking after treatment with
functional appliances could be perfected with fixed
appliances of the clinician's choice.
 The possibility of reducing the need for extractions,
reducing the time needed for multibanded treatment, and
improving the facial results seems to be great enough to
justify further investigation of this appliance as to achieving
predictable changes.

Arch width development in Class II patients treated
with Frankel appliance
McDougall, McNamara, and Dierkes
AJO 1982 Jul
Sixty treated and forty-seven untreated Class II, Division 1
patients were examined in this study. The patients in the
former group were treated with the functional regulator of
Frankel (FR-1 or FR-2), while patients in the latter group were
not treated but were of similar ethnic and skeletal
composition. Sequential dental casts of the treated and
untreated groups were examined, and the changes in lingual,
buccal, and alveolar arch widths were compared.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

Contd…
The results of this study indicate that expansion of the
maxillary and mandibular dental arches and their supporting
structure occurs routinely when a functional regulator (FR-1
or FR-2) is conscientiously worn by the patient.

The expansion is not limited to a particular region of the
dental arch, although in absolute terms the largest expansion
values occur in the premolar and molar regions, while lesser
values were recorded in the canine region. In addition, this
study indicates that in the maxilla narrower arches tend to
expand more than wider arches.

Frankel ortodontic appliance by thomas /certified fixed orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy

  • 2. INDIAN DENTAL ACADEMY Leader in continuing dental education www.indiandentalacademy.com www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 3. CONTENTS. 1. INTRODUCTION. 2. HISTORY. 3. SYNONYMS. 4. PHILOSOPHY. 5. INDICATIONS & CONTRAINDICATIONS. 6. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES. 7. DIAGNOSIS. 8. TYPES. 9. MODIFICATION. 10.TREATMENT OBJECTIVES. 11. CLINICAL HANDLING 12.INSTRUCTIONS. 13. JOURNAL REVIEW 14.CONCLUSION. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 4. INTRODUCTION  Functional appliances are defined as loose fitting or passive appliances which harness or eliminates natural forces of the orofacial musculature that are transmitted to the teeth and alveolar bone through the medium of the appliance . www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 5. INTRODUCTION….. The basis of functional treatment in general is the principle that a “new pattern of function” dictated by the appliance , leads to corresponding “new morphologic pattern”. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 6. INTRODUCTION…. The functional regulator is a removable orthodontic appliance developed by Professor Rolf Frankel . This appliance is used during the mixed and early permanent dentition stages to effect changes in anteroposterior, transverse, and vertical jaw relationships.  The Frankel appliance, as it is more commonly termed, has two main treatment effects. First, it serves as a template against which the craniofacial muscles function. The second effect of the Frankel appliance is its influence on skeletal and dental development www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 7. HISTORY In 1880, Kingsley introduced the term and concept of "jumping the bite" for patients with mandibular retrusion.  Robin in 1902had created an appliance quite similar in its objectives; The monobloc. Impressed by Kingsley's concepts and appliances, Viggow Andresen in 1908 developed activator.  Frantisek Kraus of Prague used oral screen to interrupt abnormal muscle force resulting from thumb or tongue sucking . www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 8. HISTORY  Then Rolf Frankel of Germany developed an appliance in about the middle of this century, which was not only inhibitory but influence function in a more positive way . This initial appliance was just two buccal shields , connected by wires without any clasp . Growth guidance was a vague concept before Frankel’s contribution.  Charles Nord was correct when he called the Frankel method a, “revolution in orthodontic appliances ”. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 9. Synonyms:  Frankel appliance  Vestibular appliance  Oral gymnastic appliance  Functional regulator Frankel postulates that the increase in crowding is the result of hypertonic muscles in the buccinator mechanism restricting the lateral growth of the teeth and their supporting tissues. One objective of the vestibular shield is to regulate the hypertonic muscles of the buccinator and perioral muscles, thereby giving rise to the name functional regulator. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 10. PHILOSOPHY OF FRANKEL APPLIANCE 1.Vestibular arena of operation Frankel appliance is confined to the oral vestibule and holds away, The buccal and labial musculature from the dentition in those areas in which the pressure on the dento alveolar structures has restricted the outward development of these Structures. Dentition is heavily influenced by 1)Functional matrix. 2)The buccinator mechanism. 3) Orbicularis Oris complex. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 11. Functional matrix concept of Melvin Moss: Buccal shields of frankel directly alter the soft tissue configuration, increasing the oral volume, that is the capsular matrix that allows the muscle to exercise and adapt and improve. The impact of the space increase on the basal development of mandible has been suggested. The term translative growth gives a new credence to the theoretic and therapeutic aspect of orthopedic treatment with frankel. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 12. The functional matrix and the Frankel appliance, OO , Obicularis oris. B, Buccinator. PMR, Pterygomandibular raphe. SPC, Superior pharyngis constrictor. LP, Labial pad. VS, Vestibular shield. The functional regulator provides a larger functional matrix than the teeth. The buccinator mechanism will grow and adapt to whichever functional matrix (soft-tissue capsule) is present in the mouth. This adaptation occurs primarily during growth. After growth is complete, very little, if www.indiandentalacademy.com any, change can be expected.
  • 13. SCREENING EFFECT OF THE BUCCAL SHIELDS Buccal shields and lip pads effectively holds the buccal and labial musculature away from the dento -alveolar complex eliminating the restrictive effect of the structures. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 14. 2 . Sagital correction via tooth borne maxillary anchorage Forward posturing of the mandible is achieved by an acrylic pad that contacts alveolar bone behind the alveolar segment. 3. Differential eruption guidance. By being free of the mandibular teeth selective eruption of the lower posterior teeth is possible which corrects vertical dimension deficiencies. 4. Buccal shields , lip pads and periosteal pull. There will be an outward periosteal pull by maximum extension of the shields And pads into the depths of buccal and labial vestibule to the point at which the depth of the sulcus is under tension . www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 15. The vestibular shield creates tension at the depth of the mucobuccal fold in a lateral direction. This tension is directed at influencing the erupting permanent teeth to erupt further laterally than normal, thereby resulting in arch expansion. Notice that less influence is seen on fully erupted teeth, as shown by the open arrow. www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 65. 1. INCREASE IN INTRA ORAL SPACE.  It is achieved primarily through buccal shields and lip pads which eliminate the harmful mechanical forces on the pressure sensitive membraneous structures.  The constant outward pull that is exerted on the connective tissue fibers and muscle attachments in the oral vestibule is transmitted to the alveolar bone by the fibers inserting into the periostium and bone. This aids in the lateral movement. www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 74. Frontal Facial Changes with the Frankel Appliance Albert H. Owen. ANGLE ORTHODONTICS 1988 MARCH 1. Edgewise treatment does not appear to increase the mandibular width more than average growth without treatment. 2. Frankel treatment appears to increase the mandibular width significantly more than either Edgewise or average growth. This phenomenon is most likely due to the action of the vestibular shields. 3. Frankel treatment tends to make the patient more brachyfacial than average growth, as revealed by the frontal facial taper angle. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 75. 4. Brachyfacial individuals appear to have more ideal occlusions ( PLATOU AND ZACHRISSON (1983)28, and perhaps have better stability than less brachyfacial individuals. 5. Brachyfacial faces are more common among models, movie stars, and beauty contest winners than dolichofacial faces, suggesting that brachyfacial individuals have more pleasing esthetics than more narrow-faced people. 6. Untreated Class II individuals do not appear to grow as wide as untreated Class I individuals. The reason for this is unknown. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 76. Morphologic changes in the sagital dimension using the Frankel appliance – Owen AJO 1981 Dec The potential improvements have been presented, and their coordination into a multibanded practice seems possible. Whatever results are lacking after treatment with functional appliances could be perfected with fixed appliances of the clinician's choice.  The possibility of reducing the need for extractions, reducing the time needed for multibanded treatment, and improving the facial results seems to be great enough to justify further investigation of this appliance as to achieving predictable changes. www.indiandentalacademy.com
