Abstract
- This research intends to investigate the effects of a new intraoral device, VomPress, combined with a Right Angle Maxillary Protraction Appliance (RAMPA) extraoral device on the treatment of maxillary hypoplasia. To this end, finite element (FE) method has been employed and a skull model, including all sutures, has been investigated. In addition, the effects of VomPress combined with RAMPA on a seven-year-old girl with the malocclusion and other side problems were monitored. The results of both FE simulations and the clinical data revealed that VomPress combined with RAMPA effectively improved the malocclusion and straight neck problem by creating more space in the patient's mouth and anterosuperior protraction effects.
