Description
Eid's team at Alexandria tracked airway change during the first orthodontic stage for deep-bite teens. Thirty patients with Class II division 2 bites, aged about fourteen, joined the trial. Only upper-arch leveling and straightening was done. Head X-rays before treatment and at six months measured airway and jaw place.
The airway widened sharply behind the nose and throat, but not lower down. Upper front teeth tipped forward and the lower jaw shifted ahead in use. Bone angles improved while face height shrank. Eid credits the jaw response, while granting natural growth may play a part.
