  • How does the Maxilla move?

    The Buschang article says that the posterior maxilla is displaced inferiorly than the anterior maxilla however the diagram shows the posterior maxilla moving .3 and the anterior maxilla moving .6 inferiorly. What are the .3 and .6 numbers referring to?

    My opinion is that diagram is not completely reflective of the actually movements they describe – the L1 is a glaring example of that.

      Dane and Amy – yes they are eyecharts for sure.

      The emphasis I’ve seen in examples from the ABO focus on tooth movements and then MAJOR skeletal movements (thing restriction vs. growth mod).
