Both the OBB and the RPBP/C appliances induced favorable dental effects. A statistically significant difference was found between the 2 groups in the overbite (P = 0.003). Open bite in the OBB group showed a mean closure of 4.91 mm (SD 0.4 mm), and a mean closure of 3.43 mm (SD 0.3 mm) was observed in the RPBP/C group. Dentoalveolar changes at the anterior region were evident, with statistically significant extrusion, and lingual tipping of the maxillary and mandibular incisors (P ≤ 0.05). The results showed no significant differences in the skeletal changes between the 2 groups |
