Core Tip

Core Tip: This study aimed to investigate the clinical effect of invisalign mandibular advancement (MA) in the treatment of mandibular retraction in adolescents. In addition to the conventional cephalometric analysis method, Pancherz analysis was used to separate the skeletal and dental effects. The results of this study show that invisalign MA can effectively promote the adolescent mandible growth, improve the incisor overjet and molar relationship, and it was proven to be mainly due to skeletal effects.
