Q

Functional cross bite must be correct at:

A

A young age

34
Q

When correcting a functional cross bite, if the side that contains the cross-bite is corrected, what happens to the other side?

38
Q

True retognathism is purely:

A

39
Q

For anteroposterior dimention, treated by class II correction, what must be considered?

Q

Slows down growth at the tuberosity level:

A

Head gear

43
Q

Head gear acts at the:

A

Growth site

44

Mandible

45
Q

Head gear allows the mandible to catch up in the _____ plane

A

Anterior bite plane

46
