Treating Class II malocclusion in children. Vertical skeletal effects of high‐pull or low‐pull headgear during comprehensive orthodontic treatment and retention

ConclusionWhen treating Class II malocclusion children non‐extraction with high‐ or low‐pull headgear and fixed appliances, changes in vertical skeletal relationships demonstrate wide variation, both during treatment and retention. Dentoalveolar changes brought about by these appliancesmay not be able to make a predictable difference in vertical skeletal patterns of growing patients.
